The dairy Barn

THE Dairy Barn is the Dairy Farmer's production plant on which he depends for a finished product and income just the same as a manufacturer depends on his factory. And in like proportion as he builds and equips his barn wisely will he obtain satisfactory returns on his investment.

In this book we aim to show building skill combined with scientific knowledge applied to Dairy Barn construction and equipment. You do not build every year. You build a barn for a lifetime, and there is too much at stake to turn its designing over to someone for experimental purposes.

And, as the modern manufacturer, when he builds, has in mind certain fundamentals, such as strength, utility, storage, convenience, light, ventilation, etc., so should the modern Dairy Farmer incorporate into his plans and building certain essentials. The designing of the barn should no more be left to someone who knows nothing about the purpose and results which it is desired to obtain than a manufacturer would leave the designing of his factory to an architect who was unfamiliar with the requirements. Our Service Department was established years ago for the purpose of assisting the Dairy Farmer in designing and equipping his barn in a manner that would be economical, convenient, efficient and comfortable. This department is at your disposal. It is composed of men who have specialized for years in barn building and who combine technical knowledge and practical experience in its application.

They have designed some of the largest and best barns in this country from plans that are the result of 35 years' dealing with Dairymen. Conditions vary with different sections of the country. The constructions that are used in the North are not essential in the South.

We are familiar with the conditions and you can safely put your building problems up to us and rest assured of intelligent and satisfactory treatment.
