Cut Machinery Cost
In Half
The man who leaves his machines in the fields is pay
ing, by depreciation, for an implement shed, but not
get ting the shed.
You can cut your machinery cost in half by prolong
ing its lite anq usefulness. You can double the life of
an implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost of an implement she J to protect $2,033.0 0
worth of machinery is only a fractiou of that sum. '
We have many excellent implement shad plans to show
you, and we have the right material to build just the
kind and size building you require. Do not make the
mistake of building before you examine our up-to-dafe
implement shed plans, we will be glad to have tyou call
