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 corn, 

 more than 47,000,000 bushels of wheat, live stock to the value of $41,000,000, hay 

 to the value of $1 2,000.000, and products of the mines above $12 000,000, were some 

 of the returns from South Dakota for 1905. With a population 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. 



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, Minnesota, Iowa and 

 Missouri, direct service to South Dakota is offered via 



CM/CAQfj 



Milwaukee 



Its main lines and branch lines fairly gridiron the rich agricultural 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, S. D., to Rapid 



City, S. D., through Lyman, Stanley and Pennington Counties. Some of the best 



opportunities for success are along these new lines. Land can NOW be bought at 



from $10 to $18 per acre, but these prices will soon advance. 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.
