Below is letter, from a friend OF
mine, which you may publish in full,
as it will give the people some idea
Of the wonderful country to the north
Of us, which I honestly believe offers
the finest land investments on earth
today. The development of them Is
something beyond your conception, but
let him tell his own story.
(Horse Sale next Friday and Satur-
day.
Morris Williams,
"Ottumwa, Iowa.
Friend Williams:-I returned home
from Canada last Saturday, after
weeks absence, and wish that ] could
have personal talk with you and
some of the people who you expect to
take up there, as l found everything so
much greater there than it is possible
to give you any idea by letter.
I'VE had seven buyers from Des
Moines and vicinity with us-three of
them bankers, and they were liter
and said that the development of this
country surpassed anything that they
had ever dreamed Of Between the
! United States line and Regina, where
we had hundreds OF sections for sale
last year at from $12 to SIS per acre,
there Is nothing offered less than from
VIZ to $50, and every one Of the men
who bought from us year ago, could
sell at net profit of from So to so
| per cent bnt not one wants to sell.
| In fact in the vicinity of Milestone,
| Roulea, Wilcox and other points in
that vicinity we find it as difficult to
list or buy land as it Is in this part of
Iowa. while last year there were hun
dreds of sections for sale. / honestly
believe that in this entire area, there
are at present five houses for every
one there last year.
| In Regina we found over 500 build
ings in the course Of construction or
| just completed, and counted $50 resi-
dences in the course Of construction,
that for size and quality will beat the
best residence street Of your city.
| Within radius of one block there were
three churches being built costing, re-
spectively, Methodist $4,000, Presby-
terrain $4,000, and Baptist 100000.
| Also saw in the course Of con-
struction, postoffice, cost 1925, 200: city
hall, cost $4,000; Masonic Temple,
cost, $125,00O; Ellss club house, cost
100000; hotel, cost s14o,Ooo; three
bank buildings, making when finished,
eleven strong banks; also eleven i'm
mense storage implement ware houses
and six more building. I saw three
train loads Of farm implements come
into Regina while 1 was there, and
saw solid block Of steam threshers,
covering 400 feet square They put
500 men at work while was there,
paving the streets, and expect to have
five miles paved this season.
Williams, If you have any friends
in Ottumwa who have money to in
vest, or If you have any yourself, don't
fall to go up there at once, as this is
the chance of life time. I tell you
that at present making money is not
an occupation UP there but a joke and
a pass-time, and we will put UP 20
per cent of our own money on any
amount that you or your friends want
to invest, and forfeit same If we fail
to make you rs per cent or more net
In one year. We have averaged 100
per cent on all our investments on an
average of 4 months. and we are MAX
ing more money this year than we
have in 10 years Of real estate bust
ness, and we can do the same for YOU
II you come up and see for yourself
There will be such rush after
! harvest Is over in the states, that the
price will advance from 81 to 81 In a
few months. Now your people will get
the advantage Of this by going now
We understand that it is almost i'm
| possible for farmers to get away until
after harvest, but If you have a few
personal friends that You want to take
care Of right and make them big
money, read this letter to them and
try to get them to go at once.
Marshal Reynolds, president Of a
| bank at PanOrl. was I'm will, 10 ct
week and bought BY sections, and
just received word from our Des
Moines agent that he had bought an.
other section close to Regina, making
i Az sections. We had three bankers ii
our last party, and they all bought
and are enthusiastic in regard to theil
investments
i " expect to go up with anothe,
crowd July %, and would like to have
you join us, but if you can go with 6
few parties next week, don't wait.
Il have made this letter longer thar
intended, but the proposition Is &c
wonderful that it is had to put on The
brakes When I get started, and besides
l want you to get in on this cas-,
money while it is right, and hope
that you will be up to see for yoursel,
describes it to be.
Very truly yours,
IN. J. G."
i P. s.-While driving last week II
the vicinity of land that We have fol-
sale at from $12 to SIS per acre,
pulled up wheat that measured 21k fee
in length, and it was as thick on the
ground 8 hair on dog, and farmers
told me that it was two weeks aheat
OF last season. when a great part ol
1t threshed out as bushels per acre.
-
seem inclined to the belief that enough
buyers are remaining over to assure 6
very good midsummer demand early
the coming week.
Poor Good.
