Delphi to Anderson fence dispute sparks legal test
A long wary notice from the Indianapolis Fence Company denounces John B Cleaveland for claiming their fences infringe patents. The firm invites suit to settle the matter, asserts superior own patents, and vows ongoing production. Also listed are market prices from May 2 1890 across meats, groceries, produce, and fuels with a note on belt rail lines and local industry.
