| Land is cheap now and can be OBJ
tanned on very easy terms-practically
| to suit the buyer, but the opportunities
| to procure good land are going fast
ard within few years the chance to
take advantage of increasing values
will be gone. Acreage which was al
lowed to go for taxes few years ago is
now selling for from $40 to 1926 dollars
an acre. Land in northern Wisconsin
will never be valued less than now,
with the increasing "back to the land"
movement which is causing thousands
from the overcrowded cities to take
their families out into the country, the
openings where the poor man can get
start will become fewer each year.
One of the best things about Villas
county lands is that no one who is inter
ested in making profitable deal can
lie about It. It's disadvantages are too
evident to allow any fanciful stories
about getting rich over night while
the fortunate buyer sits around and
listens 10 the birds sing. There are
stumps to be cleared off the land be-
fore 1t can become the right kind OF
farm and there is nothing on earth
so unsightly and so obstinate as pine
stump.
Villas county is no place for lazy
man. The man who is afraid to work
or hasn't the viii or force of character
to stick to his work until he reaps his
reward, will not succeed here.
But for thesmaa who can work and
who likes to work when he can get the
results of his labor for himself and
his family, for the man who is not
easily discouraged and who would pre-
fer to be his own boss on his own land
country or city, and who would see his
family growing up into healthy man
hood and womanhood, there is no place
on earth which Che would choose to
this new and as yet undeveloped coun-
try in Northern Wisconsin.
Here he can secure the lnVlgoratlng
and strengt h-building influences which
are found on the frontier and at the
same time ENJOY all the blessings OF
civilization. Here, twelve hours ride
from the city of Chicago, he can buy
and forever own an acre OF land for
less than he would have to pay there
for one months rent for howell.
MOI only can he send his children TO
as good schools as can be found any
where, but ii he happens to live dis
lance from the nearest school house,
the town will furnish transportation
for his children free of cost to him.
He can take his wife to the church OF her
choice and with his family he can en-
Joy all the pleasures OF association and
friendship with neighbors. There is
a good market for his produce and he
can buy his provisions and other ne
cessities conveniently and at reason
able prices.
There is no place in the United
States which affords such advantages
for out door sport. There are oyer one
thousand lakes within radius OF
thirty five miles of Eagle River and
the far famed Eagle Waters comprise
chain of over thirty lakes extending ov-
Gritty miles in length and presenting
the NEST beautiful natural scenery &c

unsurpassed. and fisherman come C
