BUY TEXAS Land
But Buy II With Your Eyes Open,'
Says Paul kOhler, the Land Man.

The first Of the week Mr.. Pau
Kohler. the land man. took a party
Of some forty-three persons to Tex
as. to look at lands in the Rio
Grande Valley. He says the con-
ditions on these southern lands are
SO altogether different from the
conditions in this latitude that a
man should thoroughly investigate
what is being offered him before in
vesting. That is he should see and
know what he is getting. That $
why he is taking his customers
down to the lands and giving them
full opportunity to see for them
selves what he is Offering them. He
wants to prove to them that the
second litt' lands are superior to
either the first lift which are
liable to possible overflow, or the
third-lift land, which requires the
expense of an additional hosting
of water to reach them. The Rio
Grande Valley Investment Company
Of Kansas City, Mo. have pnrchas-
ed large tract Of this second lift
land, and they are putting it on the
market. This is the land that Mr..
Kohler is selling.
When Paul Kohler came to Mil
bank he secured only the cream of
the MILESTONE Valley lands to sell,
and thus built up his reputation as
land man, and he is going on the
same principle with his Texas prop
osition as will be seen by the fol-
lowing extracts from circular is
sued by the company he represents:
