Florence, Fremont county, Colo

5000 population.
Located more than 3, 100 feet. or
about mile above sea level, Flor

mits of no superior on the continent
Figure yourself mile up in the air
and of necessity you are living in a
light, crisp, pure. rarified atmosphere.
Florence lies 100 miles southwest
of Denver, and thirty miles west of
Pueblo. This section of Fremont
county is rapidly coming to the trout
as AN agricultural and fruit center
Particularly do apples and small
fruits thrive in this climate.
Alfalfa and various cereals here find
a most congenial climate. The coun-
try produces its best when subjected
to irrigation. The average rainfall
is very light and the irrigation pro-
cess is rs sure in its results as the
changes of the moon.
the majestic battlements of the Rocky
Mountains rise in their serrated
granduer, from ten to twenty miles
distant. Eastward the country to-
ward Pueblo, is fast settling up in
its best portions, with fruit aud truck
farmers.
The climatic benefits of this src-
tiop are world wide in fame. Per
haps ore so.oalled dying persons
have come back to good health in this
altitude and section, than any other
one locality in the United States
To once feel and breathe the crisp,
light air is to feel new pulsations
leap through the veins. To see the
stately panorama Of the great Rockies
from this city for the first time is to
catch one of Natures fundame entail
inspirations. Florence and locality
offers opportunities for the investor I;
offers health for the feeble and in
firm; offers the inspiration of a
rare mountain climate; offers. in
