Far Seeing Farmers Know
the Value of a Silo.
And they're the boys that are knocking clown the dol
lars as a result cf their foresight in putting one up.
If you could just take a hike over the country and see
the thousands of Silos on farms that were not there
even two years ago, you would get an object lesson on
the value of these great feed savers, that you would
not soon forget.
Ten acres of corn put into a Silo will feed 27 steers
or cows for six months, and fatten or produce a flow of
milk equal to summer pasture. Isn't that better than
you can do with 40 acres under the old system?
And when we can furnish you the best Silo on the
market at a price less than many inferior Silos, isn't
it up to you to iv6 us your order?
We're ready to talk Silos any time you are. Are
you ready now? ,
