ATTENTION, FARMERS!
We wish to call the attention of the Farmers and Grain Growers to the fact that we are at all times in the
market for Wheat, Rye, Corn, Oats and Barley at the highest market price. Our facilities for handling grain are unsur
passed. We have two dumps and the most accurate, type registering beam Fairbanks scale made. This scale is under,
roof and thus not exposed to snow and ice to hinder its free working. Before selling your grain come and see us and get
our prices . You need not staud in the cold to find a buyer and then selPfor less than we pay and have to scoop it and
cany it into a bin. Remember us when you have any grain to sell.
Respectfully,
PLATTE MILL & GRAIN COMPANY.
