LAND FOR SALE
Land Values Are Raising


The value of farm land in Hand
county has been steadily raising for
fifteen years-quite rapidly for the
past year. Perhaps the greatest ne
mand has been for "close In" farms,
which very naturally pushed up the
price for lands closest to town. And
these prices are going higher every
day. They now run from 500 to $500
Ter acre. This land is no better, nor
will il produce any more than land in
other localities Of the county. The
price is made by its location and sur
roundings, and the demand.
This condition brings another OPP
/ Lortunity for good, safe, profitable in
yestfnent in Hand county, because
there is too much difference in the
price of close land and land a bit
farther from market-especially is
this so when it is considered that the
auto and gas truck have greatly re-
duced distances With modern con-
veyances, the farm that was once
three hours from town is now but ore
hour, or less. These facts may not
yet be generally realized. When they
are there is sure to be an evening up
of prices by the increase in value OF
all farm lands.
These conditions and facts must
make 1t apparent to any intelligent
observer that here is a chance for
somebody to make some easy and
quick money. This opinion is obtain
ed by years of experience and obser-
vation of land movements over the
west. II has been frankly published
for the benefit of our customers and
the local public. Those who have act
ed upon this knowledge have protited.
Those who failed to act have not pro-
flied by their opportunity. And the
greatest opportunities in the world
are of no value unless they are prom
ptly acted upon.
II is not necessary to buy land in
Just one particular locality. IL il is a
bargain it's location is secondary. The
outside buyer is not familiar with any
particular locality, so he buys what
appears to be a bargain, anywhere,
because he Is not affected by a local
sentiment caused by familiarity.
This gives him a wider point of view,
and may account for TIE general be-
lief that residents don't know the
value of their own property until
strangers come and show them.
