Are you prepared to handle your grain in hulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
nnd worried with labor shortage, but build your ginneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for n first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for ?iil.o.S and it will last for
years. Sacks for tin: same amount of grain will cost you
$125.(10 and this would he a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can bo
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewing racks.
- The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is
nmong them.
Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to India.
HUII.l) VOI R GRANARIES NOW
lie prepared by building them before the farming season
opens up. He 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 money keep what you spend nt home p. event loss
nnd damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; help win Ihe war by building gianaries now.
rortable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma
terial for one granury. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
