Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
1 and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofine; paper for a first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere nnd can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing nwny with high priced
labor handling and sewing sacks.
The boys in the trenches need the sacks for Band 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 at home. When you buv sacks part of the
money goes to India. '
RUILD YOUR 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 glve you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber. '
