the successful development and conduct OF 2
nursery than in northwestern Michigan AT
the present time, While this was thought OF
by some or our incorporators from the outset.
we have received letters from enterprisng =
citizens from that section, suggesting the
idea and expressing the hope that we VIII
make that one feature OF our business. IL IS
Well known that practically all OF the great
nurseries OF this country have started with
very small beginnings and have annually en-
larged the business from the profits alone.
until nurseries which started with only ten
acres OF ground. now have from 1000 TO 1000
acres each we'll planted with nursery stock
and equipped with expensive buildings and
everything else necessary TO the conduct OF
the business Such nursery is worth from
81. 900 TO $4,000 an acre.

LOW FREIGHT RATES.

II Benzie county fruit growers
lived at the very city limits OF Chicago
they could not he better situated as TO
freight rates, as fruit in any OF the
various packages used may be put on
the train i'm the forenoon at any OF the
railroad stations in our tract with the
assurance that the same Will be landed
safely in Chicago or milwaukee, tho
next morning at o'clock at a total
cost Of % cents per barrel, I'm small

Spending prices on other forms OF pack

same may be said as TO poultry and
other farm products. These shipments
30 over the excellent roadbed of the
Manistee a Northeastern railroad and
are carefully transferred from the car
direct to the large lake boats In the
harbor at Manstee. These boats go di-
rect TO Milwaukee or Chicago and OF
course the fruit is not subjected TO
the jar incident to hundreds of miles
OF railroad travel. Abundant expert
ence has demonstrated that the air OF
the lake during the single night In
which these fresh farm products are In
transit is much better for their pres
ervation than the use OF refrigerator
cars would he. Compare these condi-
tions with those OF the Northwest.

TOWN SITES.

4--One OF the important lines OF activity
OF this Company VIII he the plating and de-
veloping OF town sites We have at least
three important locations for town sites in
our first tract. While the tract liz surrounded
by developed farms and none OF the land is
more than four miles from railway sta
uon, at least three of these stations have no
residents around them and have no town
plats There is nothing more profitable than
town ste. For Instance land bought at
$50 an acre, plated into lots and sold at the
very low price OF 500 per lot Will bring from
$500 TO S400 per acre. Settlers who buy %
acres or 40 acres Will buy a town lot and the
lots may be sold all over the country. Re-
cent experiences with town sites in the
Southwest demonstrate this assertion.

UNPRECEDENTED HIGH PRICES

The extremely high prices paid for
apples during the last few years have
aroused the interest OF all classes OF
people in the general subject OF fruit
growing. Michigan apples are now
selling OF prices ranging from two 20
four times those received for ornnges
of similar size and condition, and II l."
now becoming widely known that the
Michigan Fruit lIols produces fruit
which, for quality. has no superior
anywhere in the world. II is also be-
coming known that when reasonable
care Is used In rearing the trees, man
aging the orchards and in gathering,
packing ana marketing the fruit, we
can equal any district In the world
for appenraisee as well az quality. This
Important fact was demonstrated at
the remarkable apple show at Grand
Rapids last fall. No display OF western
apples ever made finer appearance
