Expansion in Northern wisconsin.


The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin 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. OPP
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hard wood timber lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolin,
mari and timber lands supplied the
wants Everybody.
Transportation facilities are I'M
excelied. The Wisconsin Central
BY, strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion OF
the state, offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.
