country from Casselton to Finley and
they do not know what a poor crop
| means. In an interview with George
Cook;~of Page, he had the following to
say of this section of the state: 80
There are no wild lands here, and
this section must not be confused
with the country farther west and III
| the semi arid region, where you get a
crop once in a while. Lands are some
what higher here than in some sections
of the estate, but when you consider
their productivenesS and the certainty
that they will produce good crops each
and every year, you will readily un-
derstand why they command better
, prices than lands in other localities.
We have on our list lands that are
very desirable as an investment, and
more SO if you wish to cultivate them
yourself. We can sell you improved
farms without buildings at from $16
| to $25 per acre, and farms with good
| buildings from $40 to $50 per acre.
Farms with the best modern buildings
at from $25 to $35 per acre. Price
varies as distance from town increases.
We can always make terms to suit
purchaser and can make a very low
rate of interest on deferred payments.
This of course, stands good for Gen.
trail Cass county and Steele.
