land to be thrown open is worth any
where from $25 to 500 per acre, and

The
Business of Abstractinu

The business of abstracting
titles is Of comparatively, recent
growth.
AS lands increase in value the
need Of title security becomes
more and more imperative.
1t is just as sensible to safe
guard the title to your farm or
home as to a thousand dollar
bond under lock and key.
Protection in either case is
the thing sought.
Good titles make real estate
as negotiable as stocks or bonds.
There is no way of being sure
about the title except by the
help of an abstract.
