SIDE from the fact that
your stock will be bene
fited a hundred fold
(every money-making farmer
admits it), this monument of
farsightedness the KEYSTONE
reb^orced Concrete Silo—will still be proving its use
fulness after many barns have come and gone.
There's a sort of "i can't be true feeling in the mind of a
farmer who owns a KEYSTON E Silo. It' such a novel
sensation to go, year in and year out, free^ from the usual
expenses for repairs and up-keep that this feeling of skepticism
is apt to last quite a while, especially if he has formerly
owned the ordinary wooden silo.
We do not expect to sell you in this advertise
ment, but we DO expect you to make a thoro
investigation, with every probability of buying,
if you send for our folder "Proofs" and
get acquainted with this Money-MakiP?,
Lifetime-Lasting Keystone Silo.
NO ADVANCE FOR THE PRESENT
The suits we are making toJay w&re considered excel
lent values for the money when prices were normal. Con
trasted against the high prices that have been wrought by
war tim* scarcity, they are real bargains.
