Broomfield is making a place for
itself on the map Of Colorado. 1t is
making a place where it will soon
loom forth in big black capital let
tiers.
Surrounded on all sides by some
of the most fertile farming lands in
the west, lands amply supplied with
irrigation water from bitches carry
ing the very best of water rights,
Broomfield has the natural advan-
tages that are not possessed by the
most of towns.
It is located on the main lines of
two railroads the Burlington and the
Colorado & Southern, on the Denver
4 Interurban trolley line between
Denver and Boulder. Two state
highways run thru the town. The
contract has already been awarded
for paving one of them and the paw
ing of the other is only a matter Of
a short time. The dirt roads lead
ing in every direction into the farm
ing sections are all in excellent con-
dition the year around.
Broomfield has never had real
estate boom-not yet. Land values
are low and there have been no sales
during the money shortage of the
past year. A year ago about the
top figure paid for land was $4,000
TO 10 acres purchased by Theron
Mes. Arthur Guth paid around
$500 per acre for the farm he pur-
chaied from the Fang interests. Both
these farms are exceptionally good
enss and are advantageously located.
