LAND
FOR NEBRASKA LAND COMPANY
Land 5s the basis of all wealth. How
much lapd have you? In the last two gener
ations the population of our United btates
lias nearly trebled. Has the amount of land
increased? Not one bit. The Government
has opened up and divided into homesteads
tracts containing millions upon millions of
acres of virgin soil and yet we are now fac
ing a land famine; we are getting to the end
of our string. Look back over the history
of Iowa, Illinois, Eastern Nebraska, Kansas',
and notice the changes in the amount of land
under cultivation and the immense raise in
the values of all land.
If we may judge by the number of peo
ple engaged in the search for it, the getting
of money honestly is the most important
business in the world. Where did those who
have money get it? The answer is, mostly
from land. Land is the only thing that re
mains permanent.
The owners of valuable land do not want
to sell it; they are buying more and their
attention is now being centered on Western
Nebraska and Box Butte County in particu
lar. This fertile tillable land is just as rich
and productive as the one hundred and fifty
dollar an acre land in Iowa and eastern Ne
braska. Western Nebraska has only lacked
the farmers and they are now coming by the
hundreds. The fertile farms are sending
back wheat, oats, corn and potatoes by the
trainload to supply the ever increasing de
mand in the east.
You owe it to yourself to investigate
this wonderful country lying at the very
door of the best and most valuable farm land
in the United States. Buying farm land in
Box Butte County is an investment. In a
good investment you depend upon facts,
reasons, common sense, and these are a
mighty good dependence. Buy land here
and let the natural, inevitable development
make your money grow. Where else mn
you find land like this with good transporta
tion, facilities for fifteen, twenty, twenty-five
or thirty dollars an acre?

IMPROVED FARMS
can be purch ased on easy terms from the
Nebraska Land Company. By buying an im
proved farm you are able to get a good crop
the first year. It is a very rare occasion
when a farm is found that it will not pay for
itself from one crop. Instances can be
shown of many people who rented farms fdr
years in states further east and in the east
ern part of Nebraska who have saved just
enough money to come here and make the
first payment on a farm, who have paid for
their farms from the first crop raised. The
character of the soil in Box Butte county is
such that it does not get sticky and muddy
after a rain, and bake hard after the sun
shines on it a short time, but it absorbs the
moisture and holds it. When proper farming
methods are used, this new country produces
better crops than can be grown on land that
, has been farmed for years.
i
LOW TAXES
Box Butte county has no debt, and as
there are no costly bridges to be built, and
as the roads are in very good condition, the
taxes average about one cent an acre.
TERMS
The terms given by the Nebraska Land
Comp ,ny are very reasonable. A small pay
ment is required at the time the deal is made,
and from one-third to one-half of the pur

Our policy is to make the terms to suit
the purchaser. The payments are made as
light as possible.
