BECAUSE—Their prices are low, ranging for the best land from Three to Ten Dollars per acre. 
BECAUSE— No payments are required of the purchaser for four years, except interest at six per cent. 
BECAUSE—After the fourth year only one seventh of the principal is payable annually till the whole is paid, 
BECAUSE—You are not required to go into a wilderness, these being well-settled States, the population of which is rapidly increasing. 
BECAUSE—The mildness of the climate and fertility of the soil is such that the settler can pay for his farm from the products raised upon it long before the time when the principal 
becomes due. 
BECAUSE—Failure of crops from drouth is unknown. 
BECAUSE—Large allowances are made upon fare and freight, thus giving low rates on both to purchasers of this Company’s lands.
