Culver Furniture Co. With our Spring Lugs the Staves and hoops on the silo are kept absolutely airtight all the time. There is no taking up of loose hoops. Each Spring Lug will take up 2,800 pounds pressure. Multiply that pressure by 38, the number of Lugs on a modern Logan- Moore Silo, and you can readily see their enormous strength. Another advantage of our Silo of great importance is the ALL-TAKE-UP of HOOPS at the door entrance. You do not have to buy a 30 or 40 foot ladder to take up the slack in our hoops. If there is any tightening to be done you can do it at the door ladder which is always inside your silo chute, and not exposed to all sorts of weather. And say, Jim, the biggest thirig of all is our Silo Staves are absolutely clear, and you don’t have to go to a car and ualead them and take just whatever the silo firm ships you. When you buy a LOGAN-MOORE SPRING LUG SILO you come to the yard and we assist you to load it. You take nothing but - what absolutely suits you. You get your Silo just when you want it, and not when the Silo Company wants to ship it and when the rail- road gets ithere. But you get it when you want it. Now come, Jim, to our yard and let us show you this wonderful SPRING LUG, our long 30-foot CLEAR SILO STAVES and we will figure out just what size SILO you want. a Your friend, From September to March $92,- sas City where he entered the Swedish Pp 415,728 was spent for material, Most hospital for treatment.
