Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to hnndlc 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 grnncries now.
Yon can buy tho lumber nnd roofinc paper for a first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 nnd it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
125.00 and this would bo a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from he thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewing slicks.
The boys in the Venche need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of thojr verlr lives nnd perhaps your boy is
among them.
Spend your money in Jour own valley by buying lumber
manufactured at home! When you buv wick, m.i .
hnl, .,,,,. , . j. I - - l - iw
build yqvi granaries now
Be prepared by buillirfc them before the farming season
opens up. He sure to t wood lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give 4nJ trouble in a few seasons. non't
Use green lumber. I
Save money keep whift you spend at home prevent loss

boys in the trenches; help win the war by building giannrics now.
