THE FAMOUS 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Green Mountain 
Silage is like good 
money in bank, to be 
drawn out by the 
farmer to suit his own 
convenience in feed¬ 
ing his stock on the 
most luscious and nu¬ 
tritious of green pas¬ 
turage during the long 
winter season (or all 
the year round for 
that matter), at only 
about half the cost of ordinary feed. 
Bad silage is as worthless as bad money. 
Green Mountain Silage with all its famed superiority can 
be had only from a Green Mountain Silo. No other is to be 
compared with it. It stands alone and supreme as the very 
King of Silos. If you buy now you get the benefit of early 
order discount. Our new free illustrated booklet tells more 
about it. Agents wanted in unoccupied terntory. 
Note: . We are manufacturers and dealers in Machinery and Supplies
