All letters to Publisher’s Desk depart¬ 
ment must be signed with writer’s full 
name and address given. Many inquiries 
are answered by mail instead of printing 
inquiry and answer, hence unsigned let¬

Since November, S3 Wull Street bro¬ 
kerage houses have failed, with liabilities 
estimated at $21,78$,000. We are often 
asked about the responsibility of these 
stock brokerage concerns. It is impos¬ 
sible to give exact information. Many 
of them do a speculative business on their 
own account. They may be rich one day 
and broke the next. Better let them 
gamble with their own money. If you 
want to buy stocks or bonds order them 
through your local hank, and get the 
certificate when you pay the money, hut 
we advise homo investments, where you 
can exercise something of a personal 
supervision of the property. 
For Convenience 
and Safety 
The Unadilla door frame gives a continuous 
opening through which silage is shoved out at 
the door level, gravity doing the work in the 
same way as water is carried over a dam. 
The door-fasteners make a wide, safe ladder 
directly under the door opening. Doors are 
opened automatically upon raising the fasten¬ 
ers. They neither stick nor freeze in and are air 
and water tight. You can easily adjust all hoops 
of the silo from this safety ladder, thus prolong¬ 
ing its life. 
The many features, which have helped make 
Unadilla known as the Silo of Convenience and 
Quality, are all found in the 1922 catalog, and 
prices are at 1917 levels with additional dis¬ 
counts for early orders.

writes, “We used your L-16 3-knife 
Papec with a Fordson tractor in 1919 and did 
excellent work, but it seems there is no limit to 
j the machine’s cutting capacity, as this year we put

The powerful Papec ia guaranteed to cut and elevate more silage,
