Timber fences

The Keystone Steel & Wire Company ...Keystone Steel & Wire Company began in a humble shed on a rented farm in Dillon, Illinois. Peter Sommer invented a machine that wove steel wire fence to replace traditional wooden timber fences. This invention made life easier for millions of American farmers, and spawned a midwestern steel giant. Around 1925, the first "Red Brand" fence appeared.
