Men Needed Locally for Processing of Feeds

Men are urgently needed at the Northwest Distributing Co., Inc., at Colby, to help in the production of feed which is critically short. 

It is pointed out that although the war is over, we must not only feed ourselves but help feed the Allied nations. 

In view of this situation, the United States Department of Agriculture and the War Food Administration have asked every feed manufacturer to produce a maximum capacity of feeds.

They have given the Northwest Distributing Company a high priority rating for men. Their representative, Russell Aikey of Wisconsin Rapids, is giving this employment problem special attention during the next few weeks.
