THAT WILL WE YOU RICH!
Tne greatest combination of industrialism and farming, now rapidly devel
oping, is to be found along the Burlington Route in the vicinity or'
Sheridan, Wyoming;,
Hardin and Ciliings. Montana,
and in the Big Horn Basin,
where large, deeded, alfalfa ranches that have made millionaires of the owners,
are being devilled into small farms, and where Government irrigated homestead
and Carey Act Lands are avnilable.
A WONDERFULLY RICH COUNTRY:-You can get hold of an irrigated
farm within a radius of a few miles of excellent coal, natural gas, illuminating
oil, building materials, fast growing towns that will have varied industries. '
PERSONALLY CONDUCTED EXCURSIONS: On the first and third
Tuesdays I personally conduct landseekers' excursions to see
these lands.
