Illinois t^entrai Hail Hoad 



TIIE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD 

 Company invites the attention ' f Agriculturalists and 

 Farmers to the fertile lands adjacent to their Road, which 

 are offered for sale upon low terms, and long credit at low- 

 rates of interest. 



It is the policy and wish of the Company to sell «,7 their 

 lands to actual settlers; and no inducement is olkred lo 

 speculators; in fact n<uie will be sold on long credit, without 

 the distinct obligation of cultivation. 



Illinois occupies the nioiit central positi<>n of the Western 

 '^tatcs. and comprises the most fertile section of the belt of 

 land extcndini: from tlie Atl.-intic t.iean to the Missonri 

 River, and including New 'Noik, Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, 

 Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. .Micliignn; Wisconsin, Iowa and 

 Northern .Missouri. 



Unlike the States N'ort h of us. the prodictions are not 

 clucked h), rigorons winteij,— uor is tlic luiit oi summer 

 oppressive. The bind - Wet-t of tiie ,Mi- oiiri Kive.' gradually 

 und rapidly decrease in fertility, till they blend wi'^h the 

 Great American Plain, and being cliii'fly, if not solely adapt- 

 ed tograjjng, cati never compete with those of this f'tHte, 



The laiids Iiordering upon the Missouri and K.'insas Rivers, 

 and upon the lines of the proposed roa'^sfn Itiwa, have been 

 tak- n up.and.ire nowselling at from $10 to ?1.') per acre, 

 nltbongh seltlerf have to pay heavy freights up-iu the trans- 

 portation of their agricnltuial tools, furniture ami gooHs; 

 and wh^n theircrr-ps are produced, Ihe extra tost of trans- 

 portation to Fastern markets exceeds th"' cost of prodnc- 



tiOil.
