This company Is making an earnest
effort to secure the settlement and cul-
tivation of the lands along it's lines in
northern Wisconsin and Michigan, es-
pecially those from which the larger
timber has been cat The agricultural
advantages and possibilities Of this
country, though not widely known, have
been we'll tested and the results have
proved more than satisfactory. With a
view to promoting this object and to
facilitate the purchase and settlement of
laads by bona fde settlers, the company
has established an Information Office"
at Marquette, Michigan, where, without
cost to either party, information may be
exchanged between seller and purchaser.
1t will doubtless prove of great advan-
tage to the parties having lands to sell
to furnish this Information Office" with
particulars concerning the location Of
their lands, together with maps, prices,
and terms at which they were willing to
sell.
1t will contribute greatly to the sue
cess of this scheme II prices are made as
low as possible to begin with, and II no
cash payments are required in any case
from bona tde settlers for the first three
or four years, as several years ordinarily
are required to produce crops which will
yield money.
The company would suggest that
those who are desirous of entering into
this project with us. select certain
"forties" throughout their lands that
they are willing to donate to bona file
settlers, conditional upon the clearing of
land; relying upon the settlement of
these 'iorties" to enhance the value of
the adjoining property.
This is no ephemeral scheme; but one
that earnestly contemplates the perma-
nent development and improvement of
the country.
