LANDOLOGY 79 



We are this year offering lands never before placed on the 

 market. On any new proposition did you ever notice that men 

 were a great deal like a flock of sheep ? They will chase each other 

 round in circles and huddle together, but just as soon as one jumps 

 over the fence the balance follow. Don't be the last o'ne over the 

 fence in buying these lands. 



COME AND SEE. We want you to come and see Marinette 

 - - County, Wisconsin. If you wish to make a 

 change and want the best opportunity you will be one of them. 

 There are chances to make money in other localities, but the chances 

 here are double those of any other locality we know of. 



We hereby extend a special invitation to you to visit Marinette 

 County, Wisconsin, that we may have the pleasure of taking you 

 over our county and showing you the many beautiful homes you 

 find illustrated in this book; we want you to talk with the owners 

 of these homes, and let them tell you just how they acquired them, 

 just what they are doing, and just what any ordinary man can do 

 under ordinary circumstances. 



CONFIDENCE. We are confident that you are actually interested 



- in knowing the truth in regard to Marinette 

 County, Wisconsin, and we trust that you will reciprocate by having 

 enough confidence in us so that you will take no one else's word 

 for any statement you find in this volume, but that you will investi- 

 gate the conditions personally. 



RELIABILITY. The Skidmore Land Co. is one of the oldest and 



- most reliable land companies in the business to- 

 day having been in the general colonization business for 18 years, 

 and having been one of the great forces for making Marinette Coun- 

 ty, Wisconsin, what it is today, and they are proud of the hundreds 

 of farmers they have helped to own their homes. You can talk to 

 these farmers and learn what they think of the company. We also 

 refer you by permission to the Stephenson National Bank, the 

 Farmers' Savings & Trust Co., the First National Bank, and the 

 Farmers' & Merchants' Bank, all of Marinette, Wis. 



Your decision is of vast importance to you. Don't make a 

 change until you see Marinette County and see what it offers you. 

 We know that a man who is willing to work can make more money 

 in ten years on a farm of his own in this section than on any other 

 farm land or in any other employment. 



The opportunities for industrial development and the possibili- 

 ties of agriculture for Marinette County, Wisconsin, challenge the 

 imagination. 



TITLE TO OUR LANDS ABSOLUTELY GOOD. Before we put

our lands we had the abstracts to all lands examined and passed on
