Mr. Grain Farmer: Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulkT Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. ' You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for $54.68 and it will last for years. - Sacks for tho samo amount of grain will cost you $125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop. . A granarji of this size can bo moved anywhere and can be filled directly Irom the thresher, doing away with high prided labor handling and' sewing sacks. . The boys invhe trenches need the sacks for sand bags for. tho protection ot their very lives and perhnps your boy is among them. . Spend your money in. your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at Home. Whcn you buy sacks part of tha money goes to inou . . . , BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by Vmildirig them before tho farming season opens up. lie sure p getlpnod lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumber will gi4e you trouble in a few seasons. .
