Milestone Valley lands, 1900
acres of Minnesota lands, and
1900 acres in North Dakota.

Reliable aud Successful Land Man, Who Al
ways Satisfies His Customers.

Mr.. Kohler in the sales he has
made has brought into this
country and located on farms
here, some sixty-eight families,
most of them coming from Iowa,
Illinois and Nebraska, and large
ly composed of sturdy German
farmers, who sold their high
priced lands in the states named
and made purchase here of lands
equally as good as they sold, and
for half of the money. The fact
that all of Mr.. Kohlers purchas-
ers realize that their transac-
tions have been profitable in
vestments, and sfactory in
every way, is one Of the best ad.
vertisements that land man
could possibly have, and Mr..
kohler has it. 1t is this, and his
untiring energy and straightfor-
ward dealing that has been the
principal factor in building up
business that is larger than that
Of any single land dealer in the
