Farmers, There's a Reason 



Why I can sell you improved farms or unimproved farming land in my part 

 of Michigan cheaper than anyone else. 



One reason is, BECAUSE I represent the Colonization Bureau of Michigan 

 Railroads, which embraces all transportation lines traversing the lands I handle, 

 enabling me to make inducements impossible for anyone else to offer you in 

 my locality. Another reason is, BECAUSE being more widely known, through 

 the large line of advertising I carry, owners who wish to sell at fair prices list 

 their properties with me. Another reason is, BECAUSE I handle no insur- 

 ance, stocks, bonds, city property or rents. 



I DEAL EXCLUSIVELY IN FARMING LANDS 



My business is to sell farms and farm lands and 1 do It. I have sold thousands of acres to 

 worthy people from the more well settled parts of the country. You will probably buy just s 

 so many others have done before you. All 1 ask is that you will come to me and let me show 

 you around, and I will help you in the matter of coming by reducing your railroad fare. When 

 you look over my lands use your own judgment. Seems to me, this is fair. You owe to yourself 

 to iuvestigate. I will treat you honorably and liberally that's the way I have made my repu- 

 tation. 



The Cadillac Tract 



which I am now offering is the biggest bargain I have handled. It embraces about 25,000 acres 

 of splendid land around the City of Cadillac, distant from one-half to six miles. The main liuea 

 of the Grand Rapids and Indiana and Ann Arbor Railroads, branches of the Pennsylvania and 

 Wabash Railroads, respectively, run through the tract. The lands are also intersected by free 

 gravel pike roads. Soil is good for crops that pay us best, climate is not at all severe, water is 

 pure, soft and easily reached. Markets and the facility of reaching them better than in most 

 other localities. I have an illustrated booklet and an accurate and comprehensive map of 

 these lands which is free to you on request. Write today. It will pay.
