Money=Saving 
Plans far mod Bams 
A LL barn profits begin with the plans. 
A barn properly planned and built is a constant 
money maker, because it saves time, labor and feed 
every day it is used; and it will cost you no more than the 
same size barn poorly designed and inconveniently arranged. 
A correctly planned barn adds to the value of your farm, 
and means a better price if you want to sell. The average 
farm buyer looks at Hie improvements first. The right barn 
plans will give you a better barn from the standpoint of looks, 
and more important still, from the standpoint of convenience 
and cow comfort. 
For proper lighting, good ventilation, easy disposal of lit¬ 
ter—floor space used economically and to best advantage so 
±o take more steps—do more work and pay out more money 
for help each day throughout the life of the barn. 
One window left out—a silo in the wrong place—a door 
that is not right—poor arrangement of stalls—intakes or out- 
takes improperly installed—mistakes in sizes of platforms, 
glitters, passages and alleys—even these small details may be 
a source of daily expense. 
But all these items are right, in a barn planned by experts 
who know dairy barn needs down to the smallest detail. 
If you intend to build a new barn or remodel your old one, 
avoid all the mistakes of poor, carelessly made plans. Accept 
the advantage of proper barn planning, and 
them show off better—makes the

One of our very successful remodeling jobs was on tho 
dairy barn of the Kansas State Hospital at Osawatomie. 
Mr. Charles II. Chandler, state architect, says the manner 
in which we laid out the building was “the most economi¬ 
cal that could be employed and will accommodate the larg¬ 
est number of cows.” 
JAMES barn plans represent all the biggest and best 
ideas in all the best barns built in every section of this 
country. In all the barns we design we incorporate the 
most valuable suggestions obtained from the thousands of 
plans which come before us every year for our inspection 
and criticism. So that JAMES service represents not 
only the original work of JAMES experts, but the re¬ 
sults of our contact with barn ‘conditions everywhere. 
(;et yotir plans and specifications now —while your Time 
is not taken up with other work—while you can give the 
proposition the thought and consideration it deserves. 
Eliminate mistakes by having each point carefully worked 
out before the Jinal plans and specifications are prepared. 
You can then submit final plans to several contractors, 
and if all the bids are unsatisfactory you can reject them, 
call for new ones, and still have time to get the work fin¬ 
ished when you want it. 
By having as many sets of JAMES plans and specifica¬ 
tions as there are contractors to hid on your barn, you 
will Karr, money in building—as bids generally vary hun¬ 
dreds of dollars. JAMES blue-prints and specifications 
make it safe for you to accept the low hid, because I he 
successful bidder must follow directions as to construction, 
workmanship and materials. 
Remodeling Old Barns 
We also have made a thorough study of remodeling old 
barns, so that they will make conditions as sanitary and 
nan s built according to JAMES plans iu every part ol

T. C. McMillan, of the firm of Browne

“It will no doubt interest you to know that we have 
mpleted and are now occupying the new cow stable built 
per your plans and specifications and we are putting it 
ry mildly when we state that this barn comes up to our 
pectations in every respect. We feel that with the ad- 
nced ideas which have been incorporated into it through 
e excellent service rendered by ‘you, we have a stable 
at will he modern for many years to come as we are sat- 
Sed the best of foresight and judgment has been ex¬ 
uded in the planning. In conclusion we wish to ex- 
ess our appreciation of the able and courteous manner 
we have been handled by your various de- 
w partment heads, which our dealings have 
brought us in contact with, and assure you

JllLof doing things."
