A Life Income 



If you only knew how to create for yourself a permanent in- 

 come for life, would you not set aside a few dollars each year for 

 the next hve or six years? 



Then maybe you would like to know how? 



Take the culture of nut trees, for Instance, and start with a 

 very small investment say only $30 or 240 a year. This amount 

 will purchase and set out an acre of the paper-shell variety of 

 pecan trees twenty to the acre. The care and cultivation of 

 these trees will cost very little and the trees will not interfere 

 with other farming operations on the same land. In from six to 

 ten years from the setting out, each tree should yield at least 

 twenty pounds of nuts, that is four hundred pounds to the acre, 

 and at only fifteen cents per pound (the best varieties are now 

 selling at fifty and seventy-five cents), this means a net income 

 for life of 160 on each acie. 



Doesn't This Interest You ? 



But, perhaps you will ask, can the pecan be grown success- 

 hilly in my locality? We can tell you if you will state where 

 you live. There are some sections of this country in which the 

 pecan does not thrive; but there is hardly any portion of the 

 United States where some one of the many varieties of nut 

 trees cannot be grown successfully. 



If you care to know more about nut growing for profit, let us 

 send you FREE a three month's subscription to the 



American Fruit and Nut Journal, 



which is authority on the culture of all varieties of fruits and nuts. 

 Or, send us fifty cents for a year's subscription to the Jour- 

 nal and we will give you (ABSOLUTELY FREE) a years's 

 subscription to your choice of any fifty cent publication in 

 America. 



Think It Over 



But don't delay too long, for both of the offers are limited 

 and there may not be enough free subscriptions to go around 

 among the late comers.
