Mr. Grain Farmer:
Arc you prepares! to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your grancries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $51.58 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 nnywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewing sacks. v
The boys in the trenches need the 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 of tho
money goes to India.
BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW
Be 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 at homo pvevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gianaries now.
Portable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with a 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
