Is large. ocean going ships that
win make Gulfport their home
office. This goes to show you
that more and more our harbor
is attracting the attention OF
the big ship owners because II
is land locked and is a safe har-
Dor.
THE MISSISSIPPI STATE
CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
will be held at Gulfport IN lsl'
and property is sure to double
by that time. The back coun-
try around Gulfport and Long
Beach Is the very best orange
and grape fruit lands and. OF
course, is the natural home OF
the best varieties of pecans.
Truck farming is carried on
through the entire winter and
the farmers down there now
are shipping in car lots all
kinds of fresh vegetables t.
northern markets EVERY DAY
IN THE WEEK.
/ bought the grape fruit on some
E-YEAR-OLD trees while
down there and will leave the
fruit on the tree all winter, ne
cause If I didn't you would not
believe that three-year-old trees
would bear so full. Some OF
these trees have six dozen fruit
to the tree, three years old last
spring. Yes, but you say.
ARE ORANGES AND GRAPE
FRUIT A SAFE CROP ON
THE MISSISSIPPI COAST!
I ANSWER YOU EMPHAT-
ICALLY YES. The Department
of Agriculture tells us that they
will stand 10 degrees above, and
of course, we never have II that
cold. In fact, they are a much
safer crop than peaches or pears
are UP here. There are no fall
ures in the Satsuma crop. and
the trees live to be as old as 100
years. This we learn from ia
nan, and they are the most
prolific bearers known to horti-
culture.
You probably have heard that
South Mississippi was full OK
mosquitoes, malaria ana
swamps, all of which Is abso-
lutely untrue. In fact, tho
gulf coast of Mississippi
is one of the best places
In all the world. We have the
bes. water. the best .all-the-
year-round climate, and the best
health of anywhere in the south,
and Ahe only reason that land
is not worth $500 per acre today
is because the country has not
been sufficiently advertised. We
can and do produce everything
that South California does, and
when enough people realize this
is the truth, lands down there
will be unbuyable. Now that
time is coming and it is conf
ing soon.
I noticed in my home paper that
the nurseries from Texas to
Florida have already sold out
this year and that MORE
THAN A MILLION ORANGE
TREES HAVE BEEN PLANT
ED THIS SEASON. THERE
WILL BE TWO MILLION
PLANTED NEXT SEASON.
Now lista,, 7 will sell Won IN
acres of the best orange. grape
fruit, pecan and trucking lands
for $3.50, on four years time,
without interest or taxes now,
but this land advances $40 per
acre after the 18th.
! also have some splendid build
ing lots, beginning within two
blocks of the beach front and
running back as far as ten
blocks on a splendid elevation
overlooking the gulf. These
lots are sold on very easy
terms without interest or taxes.
If you will investigate this prop
erty I am sure that you will be-
come interested. A post card or
a phone call will get you one
of my new Gulf Coast Booklets,
with splendid map In 1t by re-
turn mail. Ask for it today.
