Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1911-11-23

r.. A. Crewson and F. ID. Harrison.
who compose the firm of Crewson 4
Harrison, have been in the real estate
business here at Versailles nearly
twenty five years and have probably
sold more land tban any other firm in
Central Missouri. All these years they
have been investigating the many re-
sources of this part Of the country,
and what they don't know about CEN
trail Missouri would not fill a very
large book.
They are not only well acquainted
with the farming, stock and fruit pos
Sibilities here. but have done a great
deal of coal, lead, zinc, clay and ba-
ryta mining, and so are well vcrScd in
the mining possibilities OF what Is be-
llcved to be the coming mineral dis
trict Of the state.
This firm has settled many OF the
best farmers from the east. north and
west OF the prairie lands OF this dis
triCt, and sold thousands of acres of
the timber lands 10 stock, fruit and
mining ncn.
Both of these men say, they expect
to live and die in Morgan county, and
the way they have stayed here SO far
is certainly evidence that they will do
as they say, and the nun who looks

CREWSON g. HARRISON,

over the country with them will be
pretty sure to find them when he
comes back. While they have been
very successful in selling many Of the
best high priced and well improved
prairie farms to men from Iowa, Hi
nois. Kansas, etc, and have much of
such at this time to offer the man who
is seeing such property. they are al
So giving special attention to the che
aper lands, lying in what is known as
the great open timber grass district
living south west and southeast Of YER
saillcS. This is believed by people who
have fully investigated to be the chca-
pest land in the United States to day.
There is probably no place where a
person of limited mcans can get a
home for So little money. Good land
in this district, some OF 1t partly I'M
proved, can be had from ten to TWEEN
tv five dollars an acre. These lands
will make any n a good and money
making home and can be had on ver-
V reasonable terms.
These gentlemen make many cN-
changes, exchanging these lands for
other properties and Tor goods. Ma
ny men here own large tracts OF these
lands and will often trade , part OF
their holdings for other property, SO
| as to divide their interests.

AN OLD FiRM

While Crewson & Harrison are al
ways prepared to sci! a man as good
and high priced a home as he wants.
they are making a specially OF settling
the man with small means. who has
but little to pay down. They keep
two automobiles on hand and can
soon WHISk a party over the county
ank show them what is to be seen.
With their long and satisfactory bu-
sincss experience. their thorough az
quaintanCc IN the country, We would
certainly advise any one wishing in
formation about this country to write
or see them.
In the city of Versailles, by the way
one OF the incest little cities in the
State, OF which Mr.. Harrison is May
or a, the present time, these gentlemen
have all kinds OF property for sale,
and will be glad to show them at any
and MI times .
So in conclusion We wish to say. to
all Interested parties, if you want a
highly improved prairie farm. or an
open timber farm with every onven
fence that will make a splendid home
or il YOU want grazing, fruit. timber
OF coal lands at a bargain, or if You
want any kind OF city property. write

FEDERAL SUGAR co. WINS
Commerce Court Enjoins Inter

Washington, May "a temporary In
junction was granted BY the Commerce
Court to-day against the enforcement OF
an order OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission requiring that the Federal Sugar
Refining Company of Yonkers, y Y. have
the privileges OF the lighterage charges the
sugar refneries In New York city enjoy 20
the Jersey terminals or the trunk line rail-
roads.
The court denied the motion Of the COM
mission. the United States and the Fed
era company 70 dismiss the case and re
strained the commission from enforcing its
order until the court had had further op-
portunity 10 hear the questions NJ issue. II
is PROBABLE that the case eventually will
reach the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
The Federal COMPANY demanded the same
freight rates TO Western destinations as
the railroads gave ArbUckie Brothers
from the Jersey terminals OF the lines and
this demand the commission practically
sustained.
