by the Chicago & Northwestern Ry.
for the purpose of stimulating i'm

published in the Homeseeker, in which
these pioneers tell in an interesting
way something of their experiences in
establishing new homes and develop
ing their land into profitable farms.
The Northwestern is desirous of
securing as many more testimonials or
this kind as possible. A letter from

letter telling of the crops, soil, climate,
schools, the cost of getting q start,
etc., for use in this manner, and send
it to us together with the names and
