The Ypsilanti Commercial

Saturday morning-day 13, 1865. A handsome fence-Messers A.H.Goodrich and D.L. Quirk are enclosing their residence on Huron Street with a new fence that is indeed a credit to our city. It is mainly of wood but molded and sanded to imitate iron. It has elegant iron gate posts and is bolted with iron clamps to large square stone posts sunk three feet into the ground. For durability, it cannot be surpassed and we have seen nothing so tasty. We are told its cost was $30 per rod.
