A Land Company Pays All Rail-
road Expenses for Inves-
tigation.
THE LAND THIS COMPANY SELLS
MUST BE GOOD, OR IT WOULD
NOT PAY RAILROAD FARE
OF 100 MEN.
Interview with Man Who Doubted
Sincerity Of the company's Ad-
vertIsIng Announcement.

read a very extraordinary an
nouncement In my home weekly last
week Sy(
It had the ring of sincerity In 1t, but
l doubted the truth of the announce
ment because 1t was so very much out
Of the ordinary.
A land company owning 1900
acres of land in Northern Florida,
near Jacksonville, offered to send 100
men to Florida to examine their lands.
The announcememnt read that the
company would pay the round trip
railroad fare and sleeping car accom-
modations both ways from any point
in Wisconsin. Illinois, Iowa, or In
diana, Just to have their land exam
ined, as they stated, ''by responsible
people who represented friends or
prospective buyers"
While / doubted the truth of this
announcement, I proposed to investi.
gate to my entire satisfaction because
l had read good many advertise
ments about Florida.
All other companies want to sell
land without making any offer to show
the land to me or give me any In.
ducement to go to Florida.
The tendency on the part of all
other companies seems to be to push
the sale of land In 10, 20 and 40 acre
farms In Florida, without investiga
ton, advising that there is no neces-
sity Of going to see the land. The
announcement made by the company
refer to stated that they wanted their
land investigated, and were willing to
pay to have it investigated by sending
100 men to Florida at their expense
l read the advertisement in last
weeks issue, Saturday night, and
again read it over very carefully Sun
day, and yesterday I took the earliest
train for Chicago and called at the Of
fee of the land company, 1886 First
National Bank Bldg, and the first
question l asked was, what do you
mean by the head lines offering to
pay the round trip railroad fare In
advance of 100 men to investigate
your land In Florida?"
The answer was, I'VE want ouI
lands investigated by men before they
actually buy it, and a club of men
who are interested each in buying one
or more 10 acre farms in our tract
may elect one of their number to &C
and make thorough investigation Of
the land and see the growing truck
farms, talk with the people there, and
