Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are yon prepared to handle your grain in hulkT Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are burled with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your granerie. now.
Yon can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a fint-clait
1000 bu.hel portable granary for $54.58 and It will last for
yean, Sack, for the lame amount of grain wilt coat you
$125.00 and thi. would be a dead to., againat this year' crop.
A granary of tbla aize can be meved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and lewing sacki. ' '
The boys in the trenche. need the lack, fot .and bagi for
the protection of their very live, 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. Si.
BUILD YOUrGRA ARIES NOW
Be prepared by building ihem before the fanning season
opens up. Be sure to get food lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trohble In 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
hoys in the trenches; help win the war by building granaries now.
