"FAVORED FEW"

(PRIVATE CAR EXCURSION OCT. 1ST)

GOOD INVESTMENTS are for those who think who study cause and effect The movement from farms to cities continues bigger perhaps than ever, in spite of the "back to the land" cry. The industrial wave calls for more men and is getting them —young men who are leaving localities of the high-priced land which they have not enough money to buy or rent—men forced out of fields by machinery that works three farms as easily as one was formerly worked—men who do not know where to go for cheaper land, and probably have not earnestly looked for it, or, perhaps, have no faith in it because all the land they know about happens to be dear. Without investigating further, they drift to factory benches with a tentment-frouse existence.

BUT THE FEW who later become the "favored few-," reason the situation out. They are the ones who see the reaction coming. They hear the loud cry against the high cost of living. They heed the necessity of greater production. They see cheap land is rapidly disappearing. They understand why our Government is alarmed, and is spending millions to keep the people on the land. They appreciate the prohibitive prices of fruits for most people, the growing scarcity of mutton and pork. The days are gone when 15 cents purchased enough beef for the family dinner. That the country owes the city a living is a wrong idea. The farmers are under no obligations to furnish the city people cheap milk, cheap bread and cheap beefsteak, and they are getting back the profits they pay for machinery, furniture, pianos and automobiles, and then some.

DO YOU SUPPOSE that land only' 170 miles from Chicago, if it is any good at all, is going to remain cheap long? I have some it is good—how good I will prove to your entire satisfaction, and how cheap you will see when you compare its quality and location with any other lands. Listen to the facts and if you mean business, then come with me to Michigan in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties, Where the Swigart Tract is located.

THE FACTS: The Swigart Tract, 8 hours' ride from Chicago, and less from Milwaukee four railroads and several steamboat lines harbor cities of Ludington and Manistee, local markets, with 30,000 population, lie on the edge of the tract. Over 50,000 acres of best selected lands in Michigan's Fruit Belt lands are gently rolling and well drained, just near enough and just far enough from Lake Michigan no 40 acres over five miles from some shipping point schools and churches, new towns, pretty resort lakes, trout streams, pure sparkling water everywhere good roads, good class of settlers, climate mild
