index of tax paying ability less
than tour per cent of the tax
paying ability of the state

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
getting the shed.
You can cut your machinery cost in half by prolong
ing its lite anq- usefulness. You can double the life o
an implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost of an implement shed - to protect $2,000.00
worth of machinery is only a fraction of that sum.
We have many excellent implement s!rd plans to show
you, and we have thtf 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-date
implement shed plans, we will be glad to have you call
and examine them, whether you are building now or
later.
