Now, when we hand you arguments of this charac-
ter, when tell you can take you il our own car

Gus Iron Mountain Route and return at price for your
round trip ticket not to exceed $780, that you

SUNNY SAN ANTONIO, the GREAT WINTER
PLAY GROUND of the SOUTH, and in forty-eight
hours be among the Palms and Flowers, and have an
ideal trip away from the cold rigors of the North is
such a trip worth considering?
This trip alone is worth three times what it costs,
but when we make the statement that this trip will
include chance to make personal and thorough in
vestgation of Cross '' Ranch FARMS where you will
have opportunity of talking to Northern and Middle
West farmers who have made good during the past
year and half and have raised crops that have
than paid for their land the first year, WHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

Values Increase Four Fold
In a Year

Would you like to talk to men who less than one
year and half ago paid $50 for their land, Sc
cured their water, cleared their land and put in crop
and raised Bermuda Onions that paid profit OF from
$500 5000 acre. that raised Strawberries, Canta-
loupe, Corn Oats, Cotton, Cane, Asparagus, Cauli-
flower and almost every conceivable product and made
profits to extent that they will laugh at you when
you offer them 5000 an acre for the same land
You know we are not asking you to take our word
for any of this Dope We naturally optimistic
and are interested in property, but you can
readily ascertain when you visit Ranch that the
smallest agent connected with Cross S organization
is putting every dollar that he in Cross
Ranch farms

Rock County Southern Wisconsin farm nets $50 an
acre, he has reached the maximum?
For $500 an you can buy a Cross 49, irri-
gated farm. This price includes water, furnished,
which you perpetually, without ever having to
pay water rent from year to year, has to be done
with most irrigated propositions.
1t will cost you so to clear this land OF
mesquite and brush, and about S. to your
bitches and lateras and prepare your land for crop

Personal Investigation
Courted

When we talk Cross ''S'' Ranch Irrigated lands,
the object of argument is not to sell until the
prospective buyer has visited Ranch and personally
Investigated every representation we have made We
aim to have the best class of farmers business men,
salaried employees and the man working for wages,
look over our proposition on behalf of himself and
friends
You must acknowledge this is fair clean cut bus
mess proposition and it would be business suicide upon
our part to take people down to Cross S Ranch, un-
less we are able to 'make good' all our represen-
tatons We are afraid to tell you the entire truth.
In many cases we deduct Is per cent from what can
actually be accomplished small amount of money
invested and even at that many think telling
FAIRY TALES"
