1000 ier lent is no uncommon thing
Nicely Situated for a Good City
Marsland is hound to be a good
city. Being situated 22 miles from
Crawford; 88 miles from Allien ce
live town; trade from man) miles up
and down the Niobrara River valley
there is no ehanee to net away
from its being a city of from I Wfl

Through Marsland, Up The Niobrara
. There is not the remotes! question
cf a railroad a branch of one of the
greatest of Ameriea's companies
passing through Marsland from the
est, right up the Niobrara river val
ley to the west, connecting with the
coast line in Wyoming; there is not
the remotest question of an Irriga-
ttoa eompeny not taking hold In the
verv near future, or the waters of I
the Niobrara, with which they will
make the lands of that ri h ralleji
produce abundant ami UOOXC lied
crops ol sugar beets and alfalfa, and
with the great railroad facilities
Marsland will blossom forth With
beet sugar fnctorits. alfalfa meal
mills, canning factories and other In
dustries that-the good people of Ibis
present little village never dreamed
before.
Remember
Men ate living today who will tell
of the early days when iiinaiia
was a village not one-ienui on d".v
Marsland; when Denver was onij
small mining hamlet; when ni-
cago was only a few Hoard snacKs,
when -i I v lots iu these "cities" could
be bought for $-'5 to 40 each these
game lots today are worth perhaps
one thousand times that amounl.

Fondest Hopes Will Soon be Realized
The West is fast settling up- just
as sure as the sun rises in the east
and sets in the west, the Niobrara
river valley for miles and miles to
the east of Marsland is going to
have a family on every quarter and
many close In on forties and eight
ies then, dear reader, you will look
out upon that well cultivated valley
and ley, "That is what made a city
out of Marsland." The plentiful sup
ply of pure water flowing down that
river today is not always going to
flow on and nut of the country. It
is going to be harnessed and dealt
out to the husbandmen of the soil.
No other city tan or will take the
place Of Marsland. When another
road is run through Marsland and en
up the fertile valley, other villages
and hamlets may spring up, hut when
they do Marsland will be "The City
of the Niobrara," and, not as it is
today, but, as it should be, "All
trains will stop at Marsland."
In on the Ground Floor
The man or woman who waits un
til the Othei follow has "paved the
way" and prepared the home is not
the person who ever becomes very
wealthy. It is he or she who bought
on tin lowest market and held and
helped to boost thai re hi- i lie prof
its always get in on the ground
floor If you can that is what makes
sure and safe footing (Jet in en the
ground floor on town lots at Mars
land and you will never regret the
step. Hold your investment, build
and derive a revenue and our child
ren and your children's children will
live to thank you for founding your
t state upon a footing hd solid ami as
strong as the old rock itself "The
rock of Cibraltar."
Rental Property in Marsland, Good
Investment
Right today ou cannot rent- a
house in Marsland those that are
rented are paying from IT, per cent
to 2o per BOUt Interest upon the In
vestment to the owner. Right today
20 new houses -ould be rented to
those desiring to live in Marsland if
the house were to bo rented. Kight
today the writer knows of from five
to ttn business houses needed in
Marsland and knows of a half logon
thai would be rented ot a figure that
would return mighty good lu!erest
on every dollar Invested.
Lt Your Mind Stray Back
.lust atop- think let your mind
stray back to only two years ago and
then picture in your mind the Mars
land of today with the Marsland of
then. Do you no! see a healthy,
prosperous, rapid growth?
Think of the nlee new housi s that
have been erected; the elevators,
the lumber business, the Co-opera-Ihe.
the hotel, the oilier uew bust
ness nouses, that have been and an
bi ing erected that is not a scratch
to the improvements you will tee in
i lie noxt two years.
