Ask your water systems dealer about an electric water
system. Call on Southwestern for help in planning its instal-
lation and use. You will find our. rural representatives
anxious to help you with this and other farm electric projects.
For the farm ... for the homes in communities that do not have the
advantage of connection to a central water supply, the ELECTRIC
WATER SYSTEM is the answer.
Plenty of running water for the home ... yard ... garden ... live-
stock ... poultry ... and for many other uses will be yours with an
ilectric water system. It will provide for your best health and safety,
save you hours of work and make possible greater production
DO YOU KNOW?
Comparatively few stockmen
can knew the thrill of winning
championship prizes with their
cattle, but all cattlemen can
share in the dividends Angus
bring when they reach the cen-
tral market.
DO YOU KNOW?
Angus produce quality meat
arij quality meat brings consis-
tently higher prices from the
packer and consumer.
DO YOU KNOW?
A glance at the market re<-,
ports during the winter season
when quality loads are shipped
to Chicago will show that the fat
Angus steers top the market re-
peatedly, day after day.
DO YOU KNOW?
Higher prices on the market
do not necessarily mean a more
costly livestock enterprise on
the farm for a small stockman.
DO YOU KNOW?
An inexpensive way to get
black cattle is to use a REGIS-
TERED H-L kanch Angus bull
on a herd of grade cows. In three
generations the herd will be al-
most lOO"^ black.
DO YOU KNOW?
The H-L Ranch has some
choice, inexpensive REGISTER-
ED Angus bulls for sale. See
them at the H-L Ranch which is
located in Cass County about 10
miles east of Naples and 10
miles west of Douglassville on
FM Road 1766.
Visitors always welcome.
