We can give to ten real men,
who have enough money to carry
them through the winter a chance
without dollar paid us to secure a
ten acre tract of Samish Flat land
on the Interurban Railway, within
one mile of Edison and only one
half mile from school. No better
soil, no finer location. Instead Of
looking this winter for a job that
chances are ten to one you will not
get, go on to this land, put up a
shack (lots of cedar to BUILD It,,
right on the ground) and put in the
winter clearing. When spring
comes, with your garden-you have
one too on this sofia few chickens
and cow your living is provided
for and therefore you are on the
road to prosperity. Your own time
to pay for this land. with interest
only per cent, which is no more
than rent in town, while living costs
only one-fourth as much. With
this low rate of interest, you can
afford to use your ready money to
improve your land, instead of ap-
plying it on the purchase price.
This is a splendid chance for a live
man to own a real farm home and
will not last long. We have sod
one-third of our land in the last
thirty days.
