TRACTS AND PUT ON
EASTERN MARKET.
President Shepard Of the Travelling
Mems Investment Co., thinks
Well Of Whitefish and Makes
Heavy Investments i'm Stump
Land Which Will Be Disposed of
To Eastern HOmeseckers.

Cne of the largest and most i'm
rortant real estate deals that has
taken place here for some time was
closed Friday, when what is known
as Bakers First Addition to White
fish, owned by Baker Bros, a strip
of plated ground lying on the west
shore of the lake, along the Great
Northern, along with a quarter sec
tion, adjoining on the west
size of the railroad, belonging to
the same parties, was transferred
to the Travelingmen's Investment
Co. The consideration is said to
he $4,000.
The Travelling Mems Land-Invest-
ment Company is Incorporated un-
der the laws of the state of Wash
ington, with headquarters at Spo-
kane. It's capital stock is $1OOO,O 900
divided into 1000,e0O shares of the
par value of $1.0O each, fully paid
and worcestershire Its plan of
operation covers any or all points
in the United States and Canada,
and involves the listing, buying and
selling of realestate and other prop
erty.
The company is and will be COM
posed chiefly of travelling men, al
though many of the stock holders
are engaged in other lines of busi-
ness. Each stockholder has the
privilege OF acting as salesman or
agent for the company, and in that
capacity he receives a liberal COM
mission upon all business done by
him. 1t is the opportunities that
are thus opened up for listing, buy
my and selling property that give
the company it's unique position. TIL
primary object of the company is to
buy land in large tracts, improve
that land either by irrigation or
otherwise, subdivide it into many
small tracts and sell these to the
investing, or to the producing pub
lie. At the same time other peo-
pies land is being constantly listed
and sold Oh a commission basis by
the various stockholder-agents ofl
the company, these numerous agents
being scattered all over the country
and the majority constantly on the
move. From an advertising stand
point the value of this method will
be easily seen, and the selling area
through which the company operates
is limited only by the districts
reached by travelling men and the
other stockholders.
H. D. Shepard, president of the
Travelling Mems Land Investment
company, has been in town for the
past two weeks, looking over the val
ley and getting people interested
in his plans, and listing considerable
property.
After thoroughly investigating
everything in this locality, he came
to the conclusion that this piece of
ground would make an excellent in
vestment for his company and closed
the deal without any hesitation.
This piece of ground will be divid-
ed into acreage tracts and a num-
ber of improvements made and will |
then be put on the market in cas-
tern cities. Mr.. Shepard feels that
through the extensive advertising
campaign which his company is con-
ducting, that he can have the small |
tracts sold in short time and |
have them filled with a good class
of producing settlers.
F. w. Zufelt, the real estate man,
has become a stockholder in this
company and will look after their
interests in Whitefish.
