ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart OF Teharna County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
nom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 160 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first or Ave equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which TO
pay nve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
ana good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades OF land at prices to corre-
sponc between these figures.
Inc assertion is frequently made thst good
lands. suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject Of this advertisement will prove to
nome-seekers that this ia an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands TO actual settlers result easy Of
plishment.
The primary object Of the purchase OF this
pooy OF land was the breaking up Of 9 large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.
