Mr.. J. II. Brady Of Chicago, president OF
the American Land company. is spending
several days In this city and the surround
Ing country.
To representative OF The Post Mr..
BRADY said: IL believe the next eight
months will sec not only n larger but a
much better class Of immigration into
South Texas than this portion OF the State
has ever enjoyed. Many farmers who have
made success In Illinois. Iowa. Missouri
and in the eastern half of both Kansas
and Nebraska, believe that 1t will pay
them to sell their high priced land and
move to the Texas coast sountry, where
they can buy lands equally as good or bet
ter at from one-thlrd TO one-tenth Of the
price at which their present holdings are
valued | have been Interested in lmmtgra-
ton for number Of years aiid at no time
during the last Two decades have | known
any one section to 80 thoroughly monopol-
i2e the attention OF the farmers OF the Cen
tra West az does South Texas at this time.
The American Land company has offices
and agents in several cities and towns with
headquarters In Chicago. The plan we
operate upon is this; First, we buy certain
tracts Of land. have an abstract made,
which Is examined by some thoroughly re-
liable attorney here, then we have that
title passed upon by some attorney well
known personally to buyers OF tho land.
70 that there can be no possible trouble as
to tho title.
"Wo advertise very extensively and the
railroads leading in this direction assist
us In the distribution OF this matter. In
addition m thiR arc ,hs,
claims OF South Texas through several
hundred country papers Now. | DO not
want to be put down as a kicker, but
can oniy find Que objection TO operating IN
this country, and that tx what Is known as
"ourh stone brokers'" who stand ready at
all times TO fleece the new conner out OF
his hard earned money. In one instance a
gentleman came to Houston through the
efforts of one of our agents Upon his ar
rival no got Into the hands of one of the
gentry above described; as a result he lost
$1,000 in cash, money paid In advance on
tract OF land, which IL turned out after

claims made for II az any sectlon OF this
country, and ! can not help but think there
are better chances for profitable invest
monts, sonservatively made, In thia portion
OF Texas than In any other section of the
United States, 1t Ia the ambition OF our
company to locate at least 1000 actual set
