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 with good rigs and six automobiles that cost $24,000.00. If you have a little loose money ( 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 , we \\ill 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 { migration to this country the past year was i * 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.
