This is a very important item to the farmer. It in- 

 sures the building of a sugar beet mill at some convenient 

 point in the valley when the farmers are ready to produce 

 the necessary amount of beets to warrant its erection. 



It also insures a good market for all the products 

 that can be grown, because the commission merchant, the 

 grain buyer and the produce dealer naturally look for the 

 community that is able to sell them their products in suffi- 

 cient quantities to warrant them a successful business. 



Aside from the benefits from a financial standpoint in 

 residing in a valley like this is the certainty of good 

 schools, churches, and all of the modern improvements 

 that go to make up a refined and cultured home. 



One can look ahead only a few short years and see 

 this broad valley dotted with beautiful homes, surrounded 

 by orchards and fields of growing crops, all connected 

 by telephones, with their mail delivered to them daily, 

 and wonder if it is possible that it is the same valley that 

 he saw before, when only a few wandering droves of cattle 

 were the only evidence of life.

It is stated that the Fountain Valley Land & Irrigation 

 Company is acquiring other rights and will extend this 

 supply to cover much larger areas. Some of the prior 

 rights which have been purchased by the company in 

 connection with the purchases of land lying along the 

 Fountain river will greatly augment this supply. 



Land in this tract may be purchased today for from 

 $115 per acre upwards. This price includes full water- 

 right. The only _ additional charge is a maintenance fee 

 for each year, which is encountered in all irrigation work. 



Finely illustrated folders and booklets fully descrip- 

 ing this property, giving testimonial letters from settlers 

 as well as letters from others who have studied it from 

 the viewpoint of engineers and irrigation experts, may be 

 had by writing the Fountain Valley Land and Irrigation 

 Company, Colorado Springs, Colorado. 



Invest in Irrigated Land 



The greatest opportunity ever offered to purchase an 

 irrigated farm at a reasonable price is now given YOU 

 by the opening of 16,000 acres of the richest and best 

 land in the Pecos Valley, Texas. 



You can now buy land that will double in value in 

 two years, or if you wish to farm the land purchased it 

 will net you 50% after the first year if sowed in alfalfa 

 and larger returns if planted with fruit after trees begin to 

 bear. Alfalfa can be cut five to seven times per season 

 and will average from one to two tons per cutting. 

 Alfalfa is now selling at $16.00 per ton. Secretary 

 Coburn, of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, says 

 that this great valley will be the "pear orchard of the 

 world." What is true of pears is also true of apples, 

 peaches, apricots and grapes. 



A few of the reasons why an Investment in this 

 land must produce large results 



First: It is one of the richest and best bodies of land ever 

 opened to settlement. 



Secondi The Sante Fe Railroad runs eleven miles through 

 these lands and no forty-acre tract is more than two miles from the 

 railroad or three miles from a railroad station. 



Third : The market is one of the best in the world. Its climate 

 is healthful and delightful. 



Fourth f The irrigation system has been completed at a cost of 

 over $300,000.00 and these lands are irrigated NOW and water in the 

 ditches, and YOU get a perpetual water-right with your deed and be- 

 come part owner of this great irrigation system. 



These lands are now selling at the opening prices, which prices 

 will be raised from 25% to 33>te within the next sixty days. 

 THIS MEANS MONEY TO YOU IF YOU BUY NOW.

 us, consisting or your No. 9 40 actual 

 H.P. and No. 10 50 actual H.P. engines 

 and a 120 H.P. "Otto" Suction Gas Pro- 

 ducer, we are using on an average not to 

 exceed 800 ibs. of anthracite pea coal per 

 day of ten hours. This coal costs us $3.65 

 per ton delivered at our mill. which means 

 u total cost of running the two engines of 

 SI. 36 for luel. 



Before installing this plant we had In 

 use a gasoline engine, not of your make, 

 fuel for which cost us over S6 00 per day 

 Our saving thereforlsS4.64 perday and the 

 present plant has :.i:i percent more power. 



One man has the care of engines and pro- 

 ducer, which^requires his attention prob- 

 ably about three hours' per "day."n'e being 

 occupied the balance of his time with 

 other duties. Yours truly,

A FOURTH REASON THEIR SIMPLICITY 



<I Another strong advantage of OTTO Gas Engines and Producers is their simplicity in construction and operation. *l Read the letter above 

 *I They say that besides saving $4.64 per day their plant has at least 33% more power since installing the OTTO. <J And in addition to all this 

 they state that one man spends only about three hours per day taking care of two OTTO Engines of 40 and 50 H.P. and an OTTO Gas Producer 

 Plant of 120 H.P. <J Besides you do not need a licensed engineer to run an OTTO Gas Engine Plant. Our expert who makes the Installation 

 does not leave until the operator who is to have charge of the plant is fully informed and entirely capable of managing same. When he does /?* 

 leave, the attendant is supplied with our instruction book containing full instructions and complete explanation of all details. *I By this xjT ^ 

 means any man of ordinary mechanical ability by simply following instructions can successfully operate an OTTO engine and Producer /^*y 

 Plant. <| Let us estimate just what the OTTO will do for you. Let us send you some letters from actual users right in your line of >*%^5 t p'*
