Fountain Valley, Colorado 



The country of sunshine, fine soil, 

 good crops and delightful scenery 



Fountain Valley, Colorado, is recognized throughout the United States as one of 

 the most attractive sections of the West. 



This tract is located between Colorado Springs and the town of Fountain. The 

 section is world famed as a health resort many of the larger fraternal organizations 

 of the United States have established homes for their ailing members at or near 

 Colorado Springs. 



The Fountain Valley tract is, moreover, particularly favored and its superiority 

 pronounced by the fact of its fine markets. Colorado Springs, Manitou, Crip- 

 ple Creek, Victor, Colorado City (points directly connected with this tract), and 

 other mining markets, to which Colorado Springs is the gateway, such as 

 Leadville, serve, altogether, a population of over 200,000 people. This is in addition 

 to the annual gathering of tourists at or near Colorado Springs, estimated at some- 

 thing like 200,000 people. Aside from the Fountain Valley, all of these places must 

 secure their supplies from distant points, such as Greeley, through Denver on the 

 north, or from the lower Arkansas Valley, through Pueblo on the south, thereby 

 giving Fountain Valley a great advantage in the matter of freight rates. This val- 

 ley competes successfully in the markets of Denver and Pueblo. 



Alfalfa in the Fountain Valley yields larger returns in money than any other 

 known place in the world, due to the superior markets. 



Land may be purchased in this delightful section at reasonable prices and on 

 favorable terms.
