Does Your Old Wooden Headgate 

 Need Repairing or Replacing? 



Most wooden headgates need repairing every year. If yours does, why not repair 

 it by replacing it with a Northwestern Iron Headgate? If you do this you will have 

 no more repairing or replacing for a lifetime.

are made strong and simple, so there is nothing to get out of order. They are easily 

 put in, will not leak a drop, and being the most durable they are the cheapest. If 

 you knew all the advantages of a Northwestern Headgate I know you would want 

 one. Send for my free booklet explaining their advantages, or better still, send for 

 the gate you need on a full month's free trial. I will pay the freight on it, and 

 then if it is not satisfactory, I will pay the freight for its return.

Opportunity 



When combined with virgin soil, splendidly adapted to the products which 

 yield the greatest profit, you have a superior climate, excellent water and 

 abundance of it, unsurpassed railroad facilities, good smooth roads and all 

 the advantages of civilization, you have an opportunity that it is difficult to 

 equal in this country today, especially so when you can purchase good land 

 close to an enterprising city of 8,000 for from $10 per acre upwards on easy 

 terms. While it is true that we are making great progress in this part of 

 Michigan, do not get the idea that there is a "boom" on our present head- 

 way is simply the natural result of our actual advantages, the possibilities 

 of which are just becoming to be recognized. I could fill up several pages 

 telling you facts about these lands I have for sale. I am enthusiastic 

 because I know what this country will do for the industrious man. I 

 believe in it because I know it and can prove every statement that I make. 

 Besides thousands of acres that I have sold the past year, the first year these 

 lands were ever offered, I have 



20,000 Acres at $5 per Acre and Upwards 



from one-half to six miles from the City of Cadillac which I will sell on 

 reasonable terms to actual settlers who will help me to develop them. I 

 have an illustrated booklet and map giving complete and accurate infor- 

 mation which I will be glad to send you free if you will write me. Write 

 me to-day, it will pay you.
