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. . Don't
use green lumber.
i.i
Save money keep whitt you spend at home prevent loss
and damage from exposure (to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; heljWfc the war by building granaries now.
Portable granaries oTthig type are univcrsnlly used In
other sections. One trip with a good team will haul tho ma
terial for ono grannry. For particulars as well as prices on
