Mr. Grain Fanner:
Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and .Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with labor shortage, hut build your grnneries now.
You can buy the lumber nnd roofing paper for a first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for IfM.fiH and it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.(10 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this Bize enn be moved anywhere ami can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high piiecd
labor handling and sewing sucks.
The boys in the trenches need the sucks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives nnd perhaps your boy is
among them.
Spend your money In your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured nt home. When you buy sacks part of the
Inonvy goes to India.
Bl'll.H VOllt GRANARIES NOW
Be prepared by building them before the farming season
opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trouble in u few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend nt home prevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
hoys in the trenches; help win the war by building granaries now.
Portable granaries of this typo are universally used in
other sections. One trip with n good team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
The George Palmer Lumber Co.
