TO SOUTH DAKOTA 



The Land of Bread and Butter. 



South Dakota is long on wealth and short on people. 



Today it presents the best opportunities in America for those 

 who want to get ahead on the Highway to Independence. More 

 than 47,000,000 bushels of com, more than 47,000,000 bushels of 

 wheat, live stock to the value of $41,000,000, hay to the value of 

 $12,000,000, and products of the mines above $12,000,000, were 

 some of the returns from South Dakota for 1905. With a popula- 

 tion of only 450,000, and the annual production of new wealth 

 above $166,000,000, it can be readily understood why South Dakota 

 people are prosperous and happy. The outlook for 1906 crops is 

 the best South Dakota has ever known. 



Why don't you go there and investigate the openings along the 

 new lines of this railway for yourself? 



From Chicago, and from many other points in Illinois, Minne- 

 sota, Iowa, and Missouri, direct service to South Dakota is offered 

 via the 



Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway 



Its main lines and branch lines fairly gridiron the rich agri- 

 cultural and stock country of South Dakota. Its mileage in South 

 Dakota is more than 1,200 miles, and by the building of extensions 

 is being rapidly increased. 



A New Line is Now Being Built from Chamberlain, 3. D., 

 to Rapid City, S. D., through Lymai, Stanley, and Pennington 

 Counties. Some of the best opportunities for succt ss are along 

 these new lines. The railway company has no farm lands for sale 

 or rent. If you are interested, it is worth while to write today for 

 a new book on South Dakota. It will be sent free by return mail.
