I Can Show You Excellent 

 Fanning Lands 



at from $10 to 815 per acre, right alongside improved farms that earn more 

 than this price per acre every vear, averaging the last twelve years. I have 

 thousands of acre* of such land for sale. Land precisely similar, but a lit- 

 tle further out, and not in as well settled districts, I can sell you for less 

 money. The possibilities of both soil and climate are the same, all that is 

 needed to make hne farms of these wild lands is WORK, and not an awful 

 lot of that. These lands are embraced in what is known as 



The Cadillac Tract 



and comprise an area of about 25,000 acres of good farming lands, lo- 

 cated from one half to six miles from the enterprising City of Cadillac, 

 Wexford County, Michigan. Cadillac now has a population of about 8,000 

 (with no dead ones), and is growing rapidly. Over 300 new houses, were 

 built here last year and all are occupied. More than ever are being built 

 this year. Ten years hence will see Cadillac the leading town of Northern 

 Michigan. Why? Because we have got the natural advantages and re- 

 sources, and best of all, the people to make it grow rapidly and surely. 



The characteristic soil of this area of Michigan is a warm, sandy loam, 

 generally underlaid wiih clay or gravel or both, and is an ideal soil for this 

 climate. All crops natural to the Temp rate Zone are produced abund- 

 antly. The climate is equable and agref able and healthy, as is shown by 

 pur freedom from contagious and epidemic diseases. I have-a handsomely 

 illustrated booklet, togeiher with a map of these lands, which I will send 

 you free on your request. It ejives you detailed information about this country; every word of it. except the testimo- 

 nials, was written by the advertiser, who will stand back of it. WRITE TODAY. IT WILL PAY YOU.
