Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-02

In Los Angeles County, Cal. twenty miles
north of Los Angeles City, lies the Maclay
Rancho Ex Mission De San Fernando. Here is
the home of the orange and other semi-tropic
fruits as well as the deciduous fruits OF the
world.
fathers esta blished the San Fernando Mission
they made no mistake in the character or
beauty of the valley located in, surrounded by
the lofty Sierra Madre era Coast Range noun
tains, which effectualiy pro ect the most tender
fruit from fogs; this valley seems to open its
arms to those seeking beautiful homes or profit
able investment for either large or small sums.
Imagine valley covered with Il carpet of
green in winter and golden-hued with ripening
vegetation in the summer and fall; with rich
and fertile lands under perfect and ineXhaust-
ible water supply, besides famous climatic ad-
vantages Who would not like to own all or
ange orchard of FIVE or ten acres for winter
home, home that will not only pay for itself,
but make large addition to the income of the
fortunate owner?
Well, you can have such home, and on such
terms as were never offered before
The San Fernando Fruit Colony and Invest
ment Company have 1000 acres of the choicest
land in the beautiful San Fernando valley.
These lands being the direct line of the
Southern Pacific railroad, give the orchardist
shipping facilities that are of great value, and
completely settles the question: "What means
of transportation have your"
CLIMATE.
Lying 1900 feet above the sea level, the air is
necessarily pure and dry, and of great benefit to
those suffering from throat aud bronchial affec-
tions.
SOIL.
The soil is warm, rich, sandy loam needing
no fertilizer and producing a luXuriance of
vegetation that fully attests to the great value
of these lands.
WATER
Water supplied from submerged dam and
artesisn wells is carried in iron and steel pipes
over every forty-acre tract we own, giving us
water syste m that is superior to anything in
Southern California.
SECURE HOME
The aim and desire of every far-seeing man
or woman Is to lay by enough during the work
ing period of their lives to keep and sustain
them in old age; at least to provide for them
selves home.
For this. home building associations and life
insurance companies have been the only fields
IN which those not capitalists could invest.

unpleasant necessity OF waiting till death be-
fore reslizing from the insurance companies,
