HERMISTON
OPES
Are you going to do any building or
repair work this fall?
Are you going to build a new barn,
machine shed or root cellar?
Farm machinery is too costly to be al
lowed to remained out in the weather,
while for a medium cost a good shed could
be built to protect it from the elements.
Proper shelter for the live stock solves feed
and is true economy. Feed used by the
animals to make heat can’t put on flesh at
the same time.
We must not let buildings go to rack
and ruin because the country is at war, on
the contrary the call is for economy and con
servation through timely repairs.
Come in and see us.
