of the state, and flowing into the Miss
issippi river near the southwestern
boundary, passing through territory
already well known for the fertility of
the soil, we'll adapted to raising all
crops that are raised throughout the
northwest, including stock-raising and
already we'll known for its dairy pro-
ducts, famous for its springs, lakes,
rivers and streams of pure soft water;
for it's water power and fine climate.
It is in the near future to become the
home of industries, farmers, mechanics,
and also of those who wish to enjoy the
summer and fall months around the
lakes or streams.
Many railroads traverse this region,
north, south, east and west, affording
ample facilities for shipping out and in
centrally located as regards market
ing all products and reaching the great
lakes of Michigan, Superior and HUI
ron. No failure of crops and employ
ment all the year around.
The farmer at his crops. Clearing
land in summer, in winter marketing
any and all the timber products on his
land, thereby insuring to the industri-
Gus a home that will become valuable
and sure source of revenue enabling
him to live comfortably, educate his
children and enjoy life. There is yet
a large amount of cheap land to be had,
and whether wanted for immediate Or
future use now is the time to secure it..
Maybe you are well employed for the
present, income and location satlsfac-
tory. If so why not invest in 40 or 80
acres of land? You can arrange so to
do on $25 payment at six per cent in
terest annually and then you have
something laid away for the future that
will exceed any investment you can
make, and have no fear about the loss
of your savings.
The soil represents the foundation Of
wealth and stability. Maybe you have
children growing up that you will soon
want to provide for and there is no
better way than to purchase good
cheap land. Don't try to buy too much
at one time. Get 40 Or 80 acres paid
for first than try again if you want
more, interest your children in cOntri-
buting to the fund to secure a home,
and to do SO there is no better place
than in the Wisconsin Valley. Take a
trip through the valley and see for
yourself it's grand development. Visit
Port Edwards, Nekossa, Grand Rapids,
Stevens Point, Mosinee, Wausau, Bro
kaw, Merrill, TomahaWk, Gleason,
Spirit Falls, Minocqua, Rhinelander,
Eagle River and many other places of
less note, see the industries already es-
tablished; the quality of the land and
what it will produce. The cities and
towns, and homes, school houses and
churches, you will find a healthy, erer-
getic, prosperous people from many
nations already here ready to welcome
you. If you cannot afford the expense
of a personal visit write to the Local
Association of any of the
above named towns, they will put you
in communication with some one who
will give you valuable information.
These associations have been formed
for just such purpose, namely to furn-
ish information to those wishing to be-
come interested in the Valley. The in
dustries already require large amount
of labor at the factories and in getting
the raw material for their use such
as cordwood, logs of all kinds, pulp
wood, stave bolts, excelsior bolts, ties,
piling, cedar posts, poles and shingles.
On much of this land is found pine,
spruce, cedar, tamarack, birch, maple,
Eastwood, elm, ash, poplar and balsam
and all kinds are in demand. Ii you
want land for home, you may con-
clude to buy what is known as cut land
from which most of the timber has
been removed, then you will have DO.
anxiety as regards the destruction OF
the timber.
In our lakes and streams fish are
abundant of the following kinds: Mus
callonge, pike, bass, perch, and pick
erel. In some streams brook trout are
very plentiful.
A home in this valley that you own
means no wood to buy, no water-tax,
house rent or gas bills. 1t means IN
dependent home with all the comforts
your ability and industry provides.
