Special Quotation on Hardwood Timber

50,000 Acres Hardwood Timber in Concordia Parish, La. 

 $20 per acre in fee simple. 



Will cut approximately as follows, viz.: 



Red Gum 156,000,000 feet

This property was put together by two of the best timber men in 

 the United States about twelve years ago, at a time when a selection 

 of the best rested only on the carefulness of the selection. They were 

 practical hardwood men of large experience, and, without a doubt, the 

 selection of these lands constitutes the cream of the territory, from 

 both a timber and land view-point. The timber consists principally 

 of red gum and red oak with a small sprinkle of cypress, ash, elm, 

 hickory and over-cup oak. 



The property is readily accessible to either river or rail transpor- 

 tation. The writer owns 100 acres at the junction of the three rail- 

 roads, about K of a mile south of Ferriday, with right-of-way to the 

 timber and to the Mississippi River. This manufacturing site could 

 be included with the property, if desired. If red gum and red oak 

 timber interest you, let me show the property to you from the back 

 Df a horse.
