Official Facts and Figures About POpu-
latiOn and Land Vnlues and Its
Relation to IIOmeseeSing
Population creates land values. There
is no 10,000-acre tract of land today
upon which thousands of people are
living but what is worth from five to
twenty even to hundred times what
it originally was worth before popula-
ton came.
If you are going to move west and
start q new home, why not think a lit
tie? Use some horse sense Wherever
you move to you are going to lend
about $4,000 value to the community
into which you move.
Why not join with D few hundred
other families and get your land at
low wholesale price, and by all NOV
ing on to the tract and making your
homes there, reap u great harvest of
enhanced land values?
Do you remember the Oklahoma land
rush? Homeseekers can1ped along the
line for months A government officer
one day fired a signal gun and the
people rushed into the new country.
The following day town lots in Guthrie
sold at $4,000 each and the day before
it was cattle range.
The Home Extension association
joins the people together into home
seekers clubs. The best tracts of land
are selected and submitted to the MEM
ber5 for acceptance at low wholesale
price. A town is created and the lots
belong to the members at the acreage
or grazing land price. When the town
grows up into city the lots more than
pay for the original cost of the farm.
Every member has to agree to plant
his land or build or have some one do
so for him, and this insures population
and activity and that means money.
Look up and think as well as look
down and work. Mix brains with la
Dor in Il new developing country An
electric railroad magnate buys up
farms, runs trolley line through them.
sells off enough town lots to pay all
cost of road building and has a rail-
road for nothing. BY using your horse
sense you can build homes in Califor-
MIA in the same way
OF course you don't have to agree to
buy land when you join. You simply
secure the right to buy II the terms
and price and quality of land suit you
OF course you don't buy land without
seeing it. for the membership option
gives you forty-five days to inspect the
tract, or have some one do it for you
OF course the association gets the very
best tracts of land that can be found
in the state of California, because it
does not own the land; they. simply Sc
lect and buy for their members.
This may sound somewhat strange to
you, but you can depend that every
thing is fair and square and of great
advantage to you, yes, thousands of
/ dollars advantage to you, in helping
you 'cash in" your citizenship asset.
You have been lending value to real
estate all your life and you always
will. You might just as well lend that
value to your own real estate. To do
! this you join together with 400 other
/ families and move in a body under
these auspices instead of moving alone.
There is nothing mysterious about
/ that, but there is money, heavy money,
in it for you.
The families you join with are level
headed folks, or they would not have
the mental capacity to act with such
comprehensive plans.
! The whole plan is agreeably and
kindly executed to your great ad-
vantage, for as level-headed men of
affairs we would not expect to offer
anything but what was good, sound
business practice to our members, be-
cause man or woman does not be-
come member of our Homeseekers'
club unless he is a thinker.
This association has already estab-
lished four big colonies-Clark colony,
! Alpaugh colony, Edgebrook colony and
Wasco colony. The lands cost men,
bers in one case $40 an acre, another
$2250 an acre, another $2S an acre and
another (near city of Los Angeles) 5000
| an acre. We handle everything, and If
you become member you can take
any offering that suits you the best.
We can buy in large tracts cheaper
than you can buy for yourself. We
can get you easier terms, better fa-
cilities, anG best of ALL better neigh
bors.
1t is good horse sense, and if you
are a substantial minded homeseeker
and home builder we expect to receive
from you letter asking for our book
let's. reports, etc., which are sent free.
