The Farmer in the 



Southwest Prospers 



Because he pays from $8 to $15 an acre for 

 land that produces as good crops as land in 

 Illinois and Indiana which sells for $75 to $100 

 an acre. The mild climate gives him earlier 

 crops and the short winter makes stock-raising 

 less expensive. 



You have the same chance to prosper 

 that is being taken by hundreds of the north- 

 ern and eastern farmers.

Ten per cent 

 More Profit 



The profits of a saw mill 

 can leiiciily be increased ten 

 per cent by using a band mill 

 instead of a rotary. The 

 price of this mill with six 

 foot wheels for saws eipht 

 inches wide is readily within 

 the reach of all. It cuts 

 smooth and perfect lumber 

 and has a capueity of 26,000 

 feet to 35.000 feet per day. It 

 runs with less expenditure of 

 power than a rotary and puts 

 only half as much of the log 

 into saw dust as does the 

 circular saw.

Locations for 



Industries 



Erie Railroad System 

 Chicago to New York 



The Erie Railroad System's Industrial 

 Department has all the territory traversed 

 by the railroad districted in relation to 

 resources, markets and advantages for 

 manufacturing, and can advise with man- 

 ufacturers of specific products as to suit- 

 able locations, furnishing them with cur- 

 rent information of a comprehensive 

 nature, dealing with the project in its full 

 relation to manufacture and commerce. 



The Erie is one of the greatest of trunk 

 lines. Its own rails connect the two 

 largest cities of America. Every section 

 of the System has its particular merits. 

 It has great general and coal, oil and 

 natural gas resources. 



It is important in this age of modern 

 facilities for manufacturers to locate 

 where they can obtain side tracks so as 

 to receive from and ship directly into 

 cars at the factory. Information can be 

 promptly furnished in this connection 

 about every point on the system between 

 New York and Chicago. 



Manufacturers' inquiries as to locations 

 are treated in strict confidence and 

 absolutely reliable information, so as 

 to promote permanent traffic, is furnished.
