J MUNCY-CHIEF HYBRIDS Muncy, Pa. LET THE SUNSHINE IN WITH... SOLAIR SYSTEMS WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGY! With our completely covered lots and a sun roof with an open peak, rain water does not enter the bay area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system. By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is not polluted Yes, since your urban neighbors and government fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help you build a system that will put you ahead on the pollution problem. And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in less bacteria action and fewer odors. CALEB M. R. D. 1 Drumore Center, Quorryvilie, Pa. PUT YOURSELF INTO THE FUTURE!
