A LITTLE LAND 5 g 



AND A LIVING 



down the farther slope over a path which has been strewn 

 with many blessings due to the foresight of his younger 

 days. Near every city which offers a ready market for the 

 product of the farmer or the " amateur " farmer there is 

 land which could be satisfactorily and profitably used for 

 three acre farm plots, and it will be a blessing to this great 

 country if Mr. Hall's theory can be tested soon, for each 

 test will more than show its practical side. We have on 

 this tract people from all walks of life clerks, mechanics, 

 professional men, those previously engaged in all trades 

 and professions. All of them are less than two years on 

 our tracts, but you will not find anywhere else such a happy 

 lot of people are found there now. 



" I enclose you a few photographs of those farm houses 

 which I take the liberty to call ' cottages.' Compare the ex- 

 terior with tenement houses surrounded by other tenement 

 houses and these little ' boxes ' surrounded by gardens and 

 pure air. Compare their interiors with the interiors of the 

 tenements, without light though possibly with more elabo- 

 rate furniture, and you will find that there are thousands 

 who could be made happy by going to just such places 

 near large cities, even if they have to go to the city to 

 work during the day."
