PLEASING PROFITS
Every farmer is in business for profit. He
is interested in anything that will increase his
profit. He knows the importance of good seed
and well bred stock. He has been talking
about it for years.
Thought and a little investment pay big
dividends in buildings as in stock and seed.
When good farm buildings will pay for
themselves in the saving of, grain, stock, feed
and machinery in one season—surely they can
be called a good investment.
