! country from Casselton to Finley and
| they do not know what a poor crop
| means. In an interview with George
| Cook;1of Page, he had the following to
say of this section of the state: -.
! There are no wild lands here, and
this section must not be confused
| with the country farther west and i'll
| the semi-ari 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 SIC
| 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.
