AN EMIGRATION AGENCY
That Is What the Burchard- Hulburt In.
vestment Company Is For
Three Great States. 49, 49,.


Minnesota maintains no emigration
bureau as do other states. 1t has
no need of one, because it is the
home Of a number of public spirited.
energetic private corpora lions that
are doing more to airing new
settlers to the state than any official
agency ever could. Conspicuous among
these companies is the BIZ rchard- Hulburt
Investment company of 705-8 Manhattan
building, st: Paul, which has brought
thousands of new people to Minnesota,
North Dakota and Wisconsin. This COM
pany represents an experience In the land
business of over twenty years, and its
unerring judgment as to land qualities
and values has been a source Of profit to
it. Of homes to thousands and Of untold
ultimate value to the three great COM
monwealths. 1t covers practically all
parts of Minnesota. all the best portions of
North Dakota, and the promising wooded
region Of North Wisconsin.
The company is conducted upon the
broad theory that there is good land for
some purpose in every part of the three
states which are now developing so rapid
ly. To some men the forest country
appeals, to others the land Of the long
settled prairie regions Of Minnesota, the
fat levels Of the Red River valley or the
spacious plains and uplands of North
Dakota have more Of an attraction.
Wherever there is good land in these three
states and prices that are fair, the Bur-
chard-Hulburt company will be found to
be active. In southern Minnesota it has
thousands of rich acres in Lyon and Red
wood counties. In the great Red River
valley, which raises q per cent Of the
wheat Of Minnesota and North Dakota, it
has 900 acres in Marshall and Kittson
counties on the Minnesota side and 10000
acres in Walsh and Grand Forks counties
across the International line, 1t holds 90
900 acres in the rich province of Mani
toba. In Aitkin county, the garden spot
Of the Minnesota forest region, it holds
large tracts which, together with its pos
sessions in Washburn county, Wisconsin,
foot up $1,000 acres. 1t has improved
farm lands everywhere, thousands of acres
in La Moure and Logan counties, North
Dakota, and $4,000 acres Of stock ranches.
Whatever man wants in northwestern
lands he can get from this company on
reasonable price basis. :; .a.szsy.s = r..

company advertfses. lit owns immense
tracts, of land which it is good business
to market rapidly, and alsoagood citizen
