1899 the business done in the way OF
bringing new settlers into Dawson
county was very satisfactory one.
Among the real estate firms of the city
the Germania Land Co. has been in
strumensal in bringing in a goodly

are already settled on their farms.

OF the above list over half of the
settlers are here and the balance will
arrive early in the spring and COM
mence farm work. Many of these new
comers have brought with them some
of the finest blooded sheep, cattle aud
swine which have been brought to the
county. The men are we'll to do and
their coming into the county and
occupying lands, some of which have
been vacant for some time, will be the
means OF increasing the valuation Of
property in the county and lessening
the burden of taxes. In the near future
we hope to be able to secure the list Of
the other real estate firms in the city
for publication and thus show that
Dawson county is not behind any
county in the state when it comes to
securing new settlers.
