An offer for the farmer who wants the best fence produced at 

 the lowest price a life-time fence can be made for. Advance Fence 

 isn t just a boundary line. It stands for system and advanced value 

 in property. Any farmer who subdivides his land into plots for 

 crop rotation is systematizing his farm business. A buflt-to-last 

 sound-value, substantial-looking fence means to the owner of the 

 land, and every man who works on it, exactly what a modern, 

 substantial factory or office building means to every man doing 

 business in the building. 



ADVANCE FENCE 



Is An Investment That Pays Big Dividends 



What the farmer puts money and protection into, he's going 

 to get money and protection out of. 



Advance Woven-Wire Fence is the best looking strongest con- 

 structed, longest lasting fence on the market. To prove it, we make 

 our great offer. If the fence isn't O. K. to you, and more, send it 

 back at our expense. 



We sell to you direct no middleman therefore the price is 

 right one profit only after making. 



Advance Fence is made of Solid Wire, not wire cut and spliced 

 again. A cut wire weakens. Our stay wire is continuous, woven 

 in with the main top and bottom wire running the entire width of 

 the fence from one stay to the next. Made of the best basic, open- 

 hearth steel, galvanized with a heavy coat of 99-per-cent-pure spelter 

 that means rust proof. 



Advance Fence always stays taut straight and handsome. Prove 

 it for yourself. Write to us for all particulars. Remember, we pay 

 freight and guarantee safe delivery. Don't pay two prices Write us

of French, at present an important station on the main 

 line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and 

 the El Paso & Southwestern branch of the Rock Island 

 system. This land is also traversed on the west by the 

 St. Louis, Rocky Mountain & Pacific Railway, which con- 

 nects at Des Moines, Xew Mexico, with the Colorado & 

 Southern Railway, extending from Denver to Galveston, 

 Texas. These three lines of railway, with their connec- 

 tions, give access to all the principal points and the best 

 markets in the United States. 



A particularly attractive feature about these lands is 

 that the high mountain ranges effectively protect the 

 valley from severe winter storms, such as are encountered 

 in other sections. The average altitude is about 5,500 

 feet, which insures a delightful summer climate with a 

 winter climate similar to that of Denver, with which we 

 are all no doubt familiar. 



We are showing, in this connection, an illustration 

 of equipment used in preparing this land for irrigation. It 

 is said by the members of this company that it is not 

 necessary to level this land, as is done in other districts. 

 They do, however, go over it with home-made equipment, 

 such as is shown in the illustration, to bring it to the 

 proper condition for putting in crops. 



The soil is a dark chocolate color, and varies in depth 

 from three to ten feet. The subsoil is a clay loam, which 

 is very valuable, as it gives the soil a good capacity for 

 storing moisture. The fertility of this soil has been dem- 

 onstrated by the older ranchers in the Antelope Valley, 

 and by the farmers on the French tract, and is no longer 

 an experiment. 



The editor of this journal paid a hurried visit to the 

 French Land & Irrigation Company's project not long 

 since, and it is his intention to go over the tract thor- 

 oughly some time within the next sixty days, and secure 

 data and photographs to enable him to clearly illustrate 

 and describe the great possibilities for home building and 

 money making in this vicinity. 



Additional information concerning this project, with 

 illustrated literature, may be secured by addressing the
