The Great Second Oklahoma is the Panif if Handle in Northwest Texas There is no place today in the United States that is attract ing the attention of homeseekers and investors as is the great fertile prairies of Northwest Texas , lying just across the Arkan sas river southwest of Oklahoma. Thousands of people are going into this rich agricultural country on every excursion , as they did into Oklahoma. If you will go with us on our next excursion we can sell you fine land for $12.00 to $20.00 per acre that will double in value in much less time than it did in Oklahoma. There is no finer climate on earth. You can work the year round. You do not have to house and feed your stock six months during the year. One crop will pay for the land. We are better equipped for handling these lands than any firm handling the same , as we have our own special train equipped with dining and sleeping cars , also our own hotel and livery barn equipped iwith good rigs and six automobiles that cost $24,000.00. If you have a little loose mone.y ( as it only . requires a small payment down and from 10 to 20 years in which to pay the balance ) we can show you land that you will not refuse to buy , as it is rich and-level , fine climate , plenty oi good water from 15 to 60 feet. Come go with us on Tuesday , January 15th , as the railroad , fare is only $21.65 for the round trip. Sleeper only ' $2.00 for the round trip. Good meals on train cheap. Come go with us , we uill not only make you money but will show you a good time , one that you will never regret. Do not put this off as this country will all be settled up inside of 3 or 4 years , and your land will double in value , as the imigration to this country the-past year was over a million. Think of it , and they must have some place to * " live. Remember that we will run these excursions every first and third Tuesday of each month until these lands are all sold. We will leave here over the Missouri Pacific at 1:16 : p. m. , for Kansas City where we will take our special train over the Santa Fe. Do not fail to take advantage of this opportunity to get a home or make a good investment. Do not forget our excursion dates to the Pan-Handle and to Dickinson and all 'other central counties in Kansas. WHITAKER BROS. FALLS CITY , - NEBRASKA * T VERDON.
