a prominent old settler of a northern

piled that he had been indulging in
some speculation on that subject and
ventured the prediction that at least
$50 less people than decade ago made
their homes within the territory desig

conversation is almost wholly con-
fined to the topic of Florida, and gives
an insight into the real condition of
the fame of this great state, for these
people come from almost every sec
ton of the North American continent.
Every train carries many men and
women who are going to Florida, and
strange as 1t may seem, the majority
of them are routed to Burbank-Ocala
Colony.
From the WORKOUT hills of New Eng
land, from the cold and bleak noun
tain camps of the mining districts of
the Rockies, from beautiful California,
from chill and snow-laden Canada.
from the cities and from the farms,
Catholic and Jew, college professor
and bricklayer-these are the people
who are settling today in Burbank
Ocala colony Every race, every re-
lfgion, every trade and every profess
sion has some man or woman who is
settler at Burbank Ocala, and who
from this fact, prove that this land
satisfies all people and all classes of
people.
There are three new townsites in
this colony, places where Chas H. Sieg
and his organization have decided to
build cities When one sees what
these cities were but a short time
ago, and looks at them when one ar
rives at Burbank-Ocala Colony, one
mas an Idea OF what their appearance
will be six months from today.
The people are moving upon the fer
tile fields of Burbank<Ocala Colony in
large numbers; they are preparing
those fields for the reception of their
first crops; they are building their
homes, and in the wake of these set
tiers is travelling the commerce to
the various lines of business, that de-
pend upon an agricultural community
for their existence.
Marion County, Florida, is the ban
ner county of the state. 1t is the
county which but a few years ago in
competition at Tampa, Florida, with
every county in the state, took first
prize for agricultural and horticultural
products.
Marion County has more fine roads
than any county in the state. 1t has
local and long distance telephones
upon it's farms, and one sees here
more luxury in an hours travel by au-
tomobile or team than one would be-
heve possible in a farming section. :

is fa- more interesting and of greater
import than any movement towards
land heretofore recorded in this coun-
try. The primal influence of this
great movement is Charles H. Sieg
and the organization which he has
promulgated.
This man is the pioneer of Florida
in the matter of placing northern men
and women upon Florida farms. Less
than one year ago Charles H. Steg or
ganized his first colony, which was To-
Gated in ST Johns Park, Florida.
Every acre of the 10000 comprising
this colony was sold within 80 days.
The demand was so great that Mr..
Sieg secured another tract of land,
amounting to some $4,000 acres, at
Jacksonville Heights, and this in turn
was sold out with the rapidity of the
first colony.
Today at these two great colonies,
St. Johns Park and Jacksonville
Heights, are to be seen many beauti-
full cottages; hundreds of farms are
being worked; settlers are thoroughly
satisfied; land values have arisen
1000. and many of those settlers who
bought land, and have not even inn
proved IL as yet, are actually refusing
In profits more than the amount of
money they paid for their homes
Then Mr.. Sieg began his search for
his greatest and his best Florida farm
community. After careful scrutiny
of all Florida lands, he decided that
Marion County, north of the County
Seat, Ocala. held the greatest promise
for his ideals, and he purchased a
large tract of land here.

killing toll of working $50 acres of
ground like is done in the north, but
Florida is the spot where a man is
rich who owns a ten acre farm.
Without the question of a doubt the
greatest and most delightful portion
of Florida, where pleasure and profit
are wound and inter-wound, is Marion
County, and in the very heart of this
great county is located Burbank-Ocala
Colony.
If you want to read something of
this great colony; If you want to know
in the language of irrefutable proof
and undeniable facts and figures; if
you want to see with the eye of a
camera what is now being done at
Burbank-Ocala, write for Ten Acres
and Freedom" a book issued by Chas
H. Sieg, and prepared with a most
comprehensive knowledge of all Ques-
tions arising in the mind of a man
who contemplates making Florida his
home.
This great book is very expensive,
and it is filled with absolute proof that
tells a story which no man can deny,
and it tells it in the language of COM
mon sense.
In an interview with Mr. Sieg re-
Gently, he made the prediction that
every acre of Burbank-Ocala Colony
would be sold before farmers in the
north were enabled to start blowing.
This means that many thousands of
acres must be sold each and every
week, and that hundreds of settlers
are buying this land every day.
