Ninety days after the land was thrown open there was one grand rush and every filed on. But the people who came were the kind who always came in the country; some few were farmers who really wanted a farm home. Those fellows are there yet. But 85 percent or more were old maids, school teachers, barbers, mechanics, clerks of all kinds, men and women who never farmed and did not want a farm, but planned to stay just long enough to get the patent to the land then sell out.
Our company has purchased control of hundreds of these half sections, purchased them as soon as the homesteaders proved up at a low figure. That is why you, Mr. Farmer, can buy at such low prices now. Those who still own their land here demand small fortunes for their places.
Homestead to a AMOUNTS TO $2,600,000 IN SHORT TIME
This company sold over $2,000,000 worth of these lands in 1917. Hundreds of new buyers coming and the high price of wheat have made the fellow who still hit land sit up and take notice. Therefore, BECAUSE WE BOUGHT EARLY, WE CAN SELL CHEAP. It must be good or we could not have sold $2,000,000 worth last to farmers from Pendleton, Walla Walla, Palouse, Nez Perce prairie, Riggsville and Davenport country, men who have farmed all their lives and know good land when they see it.
WE ASK YOU TO INVESTIGATE! COME TO SEE US AND TAKE IT OVER OR PHONE US AND WE WILL COME TO SEE YOU.
