Mr. Grain Farmer:
'' 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 graneries now.
You can bny the lumber and roofing paper for a fh-st-clajs
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.68 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the some amount of grain will cost you
. ? 125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this siie can be moved anywhere 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 hags 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 the
money goes to India.
BUILD 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 give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend at home 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 rati 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
The George Palmer Lumber Co.
