A. II. Mas, prominent immigra-
tion agent with headquarters in Min
neapolis, MINI. who is operating
through the Middle West with large
corps of real estate men in his en-
ploy, called at the rooms of the Colo
RADIO State Commercial association
with large number Of future Colo
radoans t27 in ALL who have just pur-
chased land in eas tern Colorado and
will move upon the same this spring
Mr.. Mas brings a special car Of
land buyers to Colorado every two
weeks. and is one of the most ag-
gressive land agents selling Colorado
lands in any portion of the country.
He had an interesting story to tell
OF how he came to devote bis atten-

a good many representatives through .
out Colorado aud they have done
very effective missionary work.
SO many OF our agents tell us they
find greater ease in talking Colorado
