A demonstration of cooperation
must be made. The time is ripe for
it. The world demands it.
But, the seed of real cooperation
was planted seven years ago and was
christened the Llano del Rio Company
of Nevada. The seed sprouted, the
bud has blossomed, and its fragrance
is spreading worldwide.

if your inner spirit rebels against the
suffering, the wrongs, the misery, and
crimes of to-day, you may know that
your altruistic seed is swelling. A lit
tie will power added. and you are
ready for real work. If, deep within,
you feel-you know-that all men are
your brothers, regardless. then it is not
only your privilege but your duty to
join hands with us and help show the
more unfortunate brother.
A bunch of real, earnest, determin-

succeeding in the greatest of the world
demonstrations. Come and be con-
WINGED that service-real service-mu-
tualIy rendered, is the redeeming pow

Llano Colony means to me an op-
portunity to live an intelligent and sen.
sible life in agreement and harmony

activity, and the golden rule function;
to the mutual advantage of each anc
all. Truthfulness. honesty, and integ.
rity flourish in an environment from
which the defects of the predatory
methods of the modern plutocracy
cursed civilization have been elimina
ted, and the native goodness of human
nature can assert itself. Watch III
