For some time we have been -investigating various lines of commercial feeds. We have become a local authorized Purina distributor because we are convinced that Purina Chows will make more money for you who feed farm animals. For 35 years Purina Chows have been lowering feeding costs increasing egg production putting more milk into the pail put ting more weight on hogs and steers and sheep in quicker time keeping horses and mules in finest condition for hard work. And what Purina has done elsewhere it can do right around here. A COMPLETE LIsie Sor AU Feeding Needs WO MATTER what you're feeding or how you'll find that Purina Chows will fit your needs. If you want a hog ration to make your corn worth more there's Pig Chow and Hog Chow. If you have no home grains and need a complete hog feed there's Hog Fatena. So, too, dairymen can get just the right Purina mixture to go with alfalfa hay or mixed hay or what ever they may have. And poultry rais ers will find here the proper feed for chicks, for growing pullets and laying Telephone No. 94 The Store with the Canadian thistle, wild golden flow, and buck brushes, were sprayed with sodium and calcium chlorate.
