prices are simply the assured value
of this proposition at this time.
Made Big Survey
You know you can rot insure o
thing unless 1t has insursble value
and SO when we started to get
value insurance the Company came
in here and spent thousands OF
dollars making a survey and a re-
port and a setup on Delta Orchards
Company and what IL was and
what the Valley was behind II; and
In this appraisers report. which Is
very much In detail, there Is set up
the value OF the land and the
things that 70 with IL. There are
folks who say, we can 60 down
in the Rio Grande Valley and buy
land al $4,000 per acre, We can
buy land for $4,000 an acre, and
here this Delta Orchards Is ask
ing 100000. sl250.00 and si500loo
and even more than that for some
choice locations. II We are not
giving you more for your money
and more I'm the way OF n guar
anteed investment than anything
you can buy anywhere in the en-
tire Valley, we would not stand
here and take UP your time ex-
planning II to you. but here Is what
goes into the making Of Delta
Orchards project. That appraisers
report included the cost OF the
land. s~ubdividing. laying out roads,
building OF same. drainage OF the
property. clearing and grubbing Of
the land. preparation Of IL for
planting. purchase Of the finest
citrus trees to be found. the plant
ing OF same and the rare OF them
for three years. including cultiva-
ton. spraying. banking. pruning.
watering. water rights and the ex-
pense OF operation on which they
found a total value Of sl633!O0.
Familiar Development
You folks are all familiar with
the development that takes place
around the cities. and you will
recall that a few years back there
was a farm at the edge OF your
town where some fellows put in a
subdivision with restrictions, and
priced 1t at a higher price and got
more for 1t than any other proper
ty between this subdivision and
the town. Delta Orchards Is doing
the same thing. Here we put in a
proposition in the highest type Of
soil. because nature placed the soil
here. We put in an irrigation
system of the most modern char
acter with its main feature A
reservoir covering $4,000 acres that
will keep In storage sufficient water
TO supply this entire project, in
dependent Of the uncertain low
flow in the Rio Grande used by
projects whic lido not have stor-
age.
Add to these facts, an organiza-
ton built to carry out the highest
type OF development and given the
advantage Of cumulative produc-
ton and development in the res
tricted area, brings US TO the point
where the expectation and the
absolute certainty Of five thousand
dollar value Of Delta Orchards
Company Is more certain than any
predicted increase in value in real
estate anywhere else in the United
States. I say that for this reason
folks. It is not the other fellow:
say-so: it is what the other fellows
have said. On that fifty acre grove
in Raymondville Of which 7 have
told you, / purchased the raw land
in 1918 at $4,000 an acre. and sold
off tracts all through ii durinE
recent years on the basis Of s5000.0C
an acre and got the money. 50
have the absolute certainty and
knowledge that those things are
practical and you folks will go into
