And II you, reader, are thinking Of COM
ing. to the land of flowers, let me tell you
something of Argo and the surrounding
country.
Argo is located on the gulf coast OF the
Peninsula, in the northwest corner Of
Pasco county. Our climate is unsur-
passed anywhere and will say to those
who desire to escape the rigors OF long
and severe Winter, to come and enjoy it.
We can offer many advantages and at
fractions.
We have extensive hommocks, clothed
10 dense and beautiful tropical foliage /;
and the coast Is lined with beautiful
groves OF palmetto palms, through which
can be seen magnificent glimpses Of the
beautiful blue waters Of the Gulf beyond.
And the sailing, for those who enjoy II,
is delightful. We have seven or eight
miles of smooth water inside the bars, so
that sailing is not attended with any dan
ger, even with inexperienced sailors.
Locations Immediately on the coast are
noted for their extreme healthfulness
and persons coming from the northern
states, who are suffering from throat or
lung troubles, almost invariably expert
euce relief, and soon permanent cure.
To persons who are looking for loca-
ton for good, comfortable, Winter home
/ can confidently recommend this place.
1t is in the heart of the orange belt, and
great many other kinds of semi tropical
fruits and vegetables, do we'll here.
The only Inconvenience we have at
! present is the lack OF a railroad but we
expect the Gulf Coast road to be built in
the near future, and we have cheap and
easy water transportation up and down
the Coast.
| As compensation for the lack Of
railroad we have cheap land and choice
of the most desirable locations before the
railroad does come through.
Some people ask, what can they do here
to make living. There is number of
pursuits which can be followed profltably
here. Bees do exceedingly well, and any
one who understands their management
can make an apiary very profitable. The
| sponglng business is profitable aud can be
carried on profltably. So Of the fishing
business-and the waters OF the Calf
abound with fish. All kinds OF vegeta-
bles do well aud on hommock land can
be produced in abundance without fer
tilizing, aud pine land can be made to
produce we'll ''cow-penning. And thus,
and in other ways, cattle are source OF
profit. Hogs and cattle do well, and
neither require a mouthful, except what
they get on the free range.
There are some splendid locations for
sale at the Hommock Creek, or Gulf Key
Landing -one of the best landings and
channels on this coast. Everybody can
be suited in choice of location, quality OF
land, and in price.
Anyone desiring any further informa-
ton In regard to this place, IL they will
write to me, making inquiry, will cheer
fully aid them all / can.
There is number of improved and un-
improved places, owned by different par
4 ties, for sale hare, aud / will take pleasure
in assisting and showing around all who
| will give me q call.
The best way to reach this place Is via
Brooksyille, Fla, aud the mail line from
there. The distance is about twenty
miles, and the fare Is 81 one way, or $l.50
round trip.
Write to me; or, better still, come aud
see me. GEo. w. @. LrTTRIL,
