We have the latest in Electric Brooders. Just as fuel
oil replaced the coal heater, Electrics are replacing
oil heaters. Por safety and economy, investigate this
Electric Brooder.
We are well stocked with all kinds of Larro
Feeds.
You know there was never a feed made but what
someone eould make it cheaper and sell it for less.
The price tag doesn't tell the story at all—it's the
profit above the cost that determines the value of
any feed.  Think it over!
