.ETDDDSiO1 m Northern Wisconsin.

The wisepoor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, and
the wise manufacturer who er-
ected a factory in Northern Wis
.consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reaping their
reward. Northern Wisconsin is
feeling expansion in the truest
sense Of the word. Opportunl-
ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
of acres of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
we'll as the manufacturer which
can be obtained at low figures
and on easy terms. Good roads
fine school houses and other i'm
.provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kao-
line, mari and timber lands sup
plies the wants of everybody.
The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin
Central R'y, a strictly Badger
State Road pierces the rich north
.ern portion Of the state, offering
excellent transit service to the
markets of the world. Those in
.terested can obtain maps, illus
trated pamphlets, etc, by ap-
plying to w. H. KILLEN, Land
and Industrial Commissioner.
