Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handle your prain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring ami Summer when you arc buried with work
nnd worried with labor sliortane, but build your gruneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofinp paper for a first-class
1 000 bushel portable granary for Sol.fiS and it will last for
years. Sacks for tlie same amount of rjrain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be n dead loss onanist this year's crop.
A pranary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewinp sacks.
The boys in the trenches need Ihe sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is
among them.
Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part ot the
money goes to India.
I1UILI) YOUR (JRANARfES NOW
He prepared by building them before the farming season
opens up. I!e sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber.
Save moneykeep what you spend nt home pvovent loss
nnrl damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gianarics now.
Portable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with n good team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. l"or particulars as well as prices on
