James Barn Plan Service 



THE James Barn Planning Department is maintained for the benefit ot 

 our customers and others interested in the remodelHng or the building of 

 good barns. 

 Whether \'ou intend to build, remodel, or just make alterations or addi- 

 tions — either now or later on — the experience, special knowledge, advice and 

 counsel of this Department is at your service. 



The James barn planning service has saved hundreds of dollars each for 

 other dairymen; and if you will take advantage of the benefits which it offers 

 you, you also will save money in the building of your barn. 



This department is under the supervision of Mr. W. D. James, now known 

 as the leading authority in the United States on the designing of dairy barns. 

 Mr. James was born and raised on a dairy farm. A lifetime's practical 

 experience has made him thoroughly familiar with every phase of the dairy 

 business, from the cleaning of the barn to the handling of the profits. This, 

 with his experience as a dairy barn designer, and as an inventor and manu- 

 facturer of dairy barn equipment, makes his ad\ice of great practical value. 



Associated with him in work for our customers is a competent architect 

 and engineer who has had unusual experience as consulting engineer in archi- 

 tectural \vork, giving special attention to ventilation, reinforced concrete, steel 

 work and structural design. 



Another architect with years of experience in the planning, building and 

 remodelling of dairy barns, a number of competent draftsmen and se\eral men 

 in charge of ^•arlous divisions of the field force, complete the office staff of the 

 Barn Planning Department. 



In the field are some sixty or more experts whose \\ork takes them daily 

 into dairy barns in every part of the United States, consulting on remodelling 

 and other barn problems, drawing preliminary plans and reporting to the office 

 on new ideas and unusual conditions. 



For years, Mr. James and these many assistants have made a careful study 

 of dairy barns — not only how they should be equipped — but how the>' should 

 be remodelled, constructed, lighted, \entilated, drained — how the\' should be 

 designed and arranged to be most profitable to the owner. 



They have personally visited tens of thousands of dairymen, ha\ e inspected 

 their barns, and consulted with them regarding the features most essential to 

 practical dairy stables. And they have talked with large numbers of other 

 practical dairymen on the same subject at dairy sho\vs and fairs. 



E\'ery year they furnish plans from ^\■hlch are remodelled or built hundreds 

 of splendid dairy barns and are called upon to solve the barn problems of other 

 thousands of farmers through correspondence and personal consultation in our 

 office and on the farm.
