CHE Cadillac Tract is a body of about 25,000 acres of splendid farming and 

 fruit land. The soil is ideal for this latitude a warm, sandy loam underlaid 

 with clay and gravel and produces abundantly all staple crops characteristic 

 to the Temperate Zone. It is not a hard job to remove the stumps, and, when 

 they are disposed of, you have virtually an old field. Blue grass and clover are indig- 

 enous to this country and spring up without seeding wherever the land is cleared. 

 For root crops like potatoes, rutabagas, turnips, carrots, parsnips, also onions, 

 cabbages, and for live stock and fruit, it is surpassed by no other part of the country 

 in natural advantages. Our climate is equable and healthy. The presence of large 

 bodies of water moderate both heat and cold ; it is not so hot in Summer nor so cold 

 in Winter as in Indiana. We can prove this by U. S. Weather Bureau Reports. 



The lands of the CADILLAC TRACT lie within one-half to six miles of the City 

 of Cadillac, population 8,000 no dead ones along the lines of the Grand Rapids 

 & Indiana and the Ann Arbor, parts of the Pennsylvania and Wabash Systems 

 respectively. 



These Lands are Sold at $5 to $15 per Acre on Easy Terms 



Markets are high priced and close. We have fine schools and churches. Taxes 

 are very low. Our roads are free, many of them gravel pikes. Water is clear, pure, 

 soft and easily reached. Beautiful lakes and streams abound with trout, bass, 

 pickerel, pike and perch. 



Drop me a line today for illustrated booklet with map, giving detailed information 

 and containing letters of settlers from many different states who prefer our lands to 

 any they have seen Kindly mention that you saw my advt. in the " Irrigation Age."
