We incorporate in the barns we design the most valuable suggestions 

 obtained from the thousands of plans which come before us yearly for our 

 inspection and criticism; so that JAMES service represents not only the 

 original work of James experts, but the results of our contact with barn condi- 

 tions everywhere. 



The barns we recommend are plain, practical barns, believing the money 

 IS better spent to secure greater space, and better arrangement and convenience 

 inside, rather than on a showy exterior. At the same time the barns designed 

 by us are well proportioned and pleasing in appearance as may be seen from 

 the photographs in this book. 



You are offered the benefit of this special knowledge and long experience 

 free of cost and without obligation on your part, excepting that we make a 

 charge when complete plans and specifications are ordered. 



We invite you to write us, submitting your ideas or telling us your problems ; 

 we may be able to make suggestions that will save you money, just as we have 

 saved money for thousands of your brother dairymen.

"I want to say that I am highly pleased with the plans and specifications as prepared by your architectural 

 department. They are complete even to the smallest detail, and every suggestion or direction which I left with 

 you has been noted. In fact when I remember the multitude of points we considered in our several conversations, 

 I have to wonder how you did it so well. 



If your equipment has the same high quality as the service of your architectural department, it will indeed 

 be very satisfactory." Yours truly, 



W. H. WHITACRE. 



"Gentlemen: — The Barn Plans I received from you were very complete indeed. The Builders had no difficulty 

 in following them and must say they were very satisfactory in every particular. The ventilating flues I did not get 

 complete last fall but put them in this summer and they work fine. If they do the work of keeping out the moisture 

 in the cold weather I will be more than pleased for the extra expense of putting them in. 1 want to thank you for 

 the suggestions you gave me as they enabled me to have a Barn that is a joy and pleasure "

G. H. Love, B.S.. Principal Holmes County Agricultural High School, Goodman, Miss,, writes Nov, 18, 1915: 

 "The plans and specifications which you made for us were complete in every detail. I took the High School 

 boys and built the barn with all its equipment except the cutting of the framing, and I am no architect. We ha\-e 

 the most modern and best equipped Dairy Barn in the State for its size, and, as said, the Agricultural High School 

 boys did all the work. Our new barn is the center of attraction for all visitors. In fact great numbers of people 

 from this and adjoining counties have made special trips here to the Agricultural High School for the sole purpose of 

 seeing the Dairy Barn, and all are more than pleased with the equipment," 



D, M, Dunning, President of the Auburn Savings Bank, Auburn, K, Y,, writes Nov, 19, 1915, as follows: 

 "Replying to yours of the 15th inst,, would say that the barn erected by me this year under your plans, etc, 

 gives entire satisfaction in every way. 



"Among a number of large barns erected in this vicinity this year it stands out pre-eminent as a specimen 

 of beauty and architecture, one of the other owners remarking recently 'it has certainly got me skun a mile,' 

 "Thanking you and grateful for your assistance, believe me. 



Very truly yours, 



D, M, DUNNING,"
