Many Advantages

We absolutely believe our
proposition to be the best in
America today for large or small
investors.
One of its big advantages is
that IT is not necessary for any
purchaser TO settle on the land
in order to make handsome
profit every year from a crop of
tobacco. Our plans for the de-
velopment of this land make it
possible for any investor to con-
tinue in his present line of busi-
ness, aslong as he chooses to doso
Any purchaser who chooses
to settle on the land can engage
personally in raising tobacco,
having at all times the advice
and assistance of an expert to-
bacco grower employed by the
Company.
Make Your Money Work
Most men who enjoy large
incomes are men who make
their money work for them.
Investment is the key to Sue
cess and Prosperity, whether a
man has much or little money.
An investment in our tobacco
lands is not only safe and sound,
but highly profitable. Only a
small amount of money is re-
quired and the terms of payment
are most convenient.
Write now for full particulars
this opportunity will not re-
main open much longer.

Whal This PrOpOsiilOn Me-

What This Proposition Means
BY test crop grown on our
lands, comprising 10000 acres, in
Baldwin County, Alabama, we
have proved absolutely that this
land will grow the finest Sumatra
and Havana tobacco, worth
$1,000 and more to the acre.
There is no guess work about
these figures. They are abso-
lutely true and can be verified.
Moreover, there is ready
market for all the tobacco this
land will produce, at $1.50 to
$3.50 per pound-the highest
price paid for Sumatra and Ha-
vana tobacco, whether raised in
this country or imported.
Our Plans For The Future
We are now offering this land
In five-acre tracts at $50 an acre,
cash or time payments. We
give perfect deed and abstract
TO all land, insuring the pur-
chaser absolutely against loss.
This land is bound to increase
enormously in value and we are
safe in saying that itcannotbepur-
chased for many times its pre-
sent price, two years from now.
With every hve-acre tract, we
give the purchaser as a bonus,
stock in our company, fully paid
and non-assessable, to the
amount of 5000. Each owner
of hve-acre tract thereby be-
comes co-partner Of the com
pany and Sharer in its profits.

For A Limited Time

With every five-acrc tract, we also
give the purchaser a town lot in the
new town of Summerdale, the site of our
large tobacco curing plant and factory
to be built this summer.
This liberal offer is made for limited
time only and the Company reserves the
right to increase the price of its lands at
any time and otherwise to modify this
offer
The Washington herald., 1909-05-30
Absolute Protection

We are offering investors something of
permanent, indestructable value-LAND.
Though everything else is lost, LAND
remains. 1t is the source of all wealth. 1t is
the one thing that produces wealth instead of
being produced by it.
We also assure investors the highest divi-
dends from their stock in our Company, con-
sstent with good business management.
The officers of the Company are all men
of high business standing and integrity, with
long experience in and expert knowledge of
the tobacco industry.

Ordinance is Strict.

The new order of things in the water
works ordinance is putting some of
our business men, who have not put in
water but have used some neighbors'
hydrant, into quandary, as the ordi-
nance forbids the use of anyone elses
hydrant. So many will have to put in
city water as there are few wells
around town and they may be polluted
by the cess-pooIs that have been dug
