ADDRESS no TIE Publ C.
The propositions Of the "Missoun Emgrant
Association are made To the industrious and
Ienterprizing-nonC Others are desired and none
/ but such will be knowingly received. The de-
/ sign IS to interest all and benefit each, and no
/ plan can be presented which unites more pros
| pcct Of success and GeDefi:, with less chance Of
/ loss than the one proposed. Ii Is based, as oil
successful movements must be, upon the enter
| prize industry and prudential character Of those
who Join M the undertaking. Each man must
be the architect of his own fortune, laboTIng for
himself and reaplng the rewards of his own
industry. There is no community Of interest
after the division ofthe lots takes place; thereis
handling Of the funds ~ profits by a select few,
or others specially appointed after that time, but
ca h man viii pursue his own interests and his
own happiness, his best Judgment shall die
The benefits proposed TO the emigrant are to
be found IN the rapidly increased value of The
property purchased aud the improved comforts
Of life by the instant combination OF - many
families upon ore advantageous point Of location.
The value Of Town lots increase IN direct pro-
/ portion To the advantages of the location and
/ the number, industry aud prudence of the nhab-
ltants. A lot IN any village of forty or fifty
/ families will cost FROM so to 500, and IN a city
of one thousand families, lOt5 will cost from
$500 TO 5000, and here Is proposed 10 create a
city az once Of one thousand families, whore Eve
large lots and four acre out lot may be obtained
/ for one hundred dollars The increase OF value
must be rapid and by proper care and manage
/ ment will lay the foundation for iutpTC IndepCu.
