More fruit grows wild there than grows in many other sections with a great deal of petting." 1 “Nowhere in America is there the wonderful natural supply of water that is found in the Ozarks.” “The bad roads are rapidly being made into good automobile highways which throws into the past one hindrance to the new development." » “To some it might seem a pity that for so long a time the Ozark Country remained undeveloped, but apparently nature planned it so; making it difficult of access that it might not ' early be despoiled and stripped of its treasures. Now, after the rest of the country has been explored and turned over and over by the oil and mineral seeker, the agriculturist, the stock grower, the tourist, the vacationist, the man seeking climate or an ideal home spot, the Ozarks, untouched, potential with Nature’s gifts, with resources undreamed of. now smiles a welcome to that flood of humanity that is ever searching for something new and good.” This Sale is genuine, don’t overlook It Buy you a home in the land of the Big Red Apple and where strawberries pay wonderful returns \ Read what L. A. Goodman, secretary of the Missouri State Horticulture Society for twenty years, has to say: “Eastern, Southeastern, Southern Missouri is to be the vast field for the orchardist and the vegetable grower. Here we have the mild climate, the height above the sea, the best of water, the best of soils, the best of fruits and consequently the best of health.” i ' * . • ’ * * 4 Buy a home where a couple of cows and few chickens will make you a living in a land of peace and contentment.
