SOUTH AND WEST LAND COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILL.

Gentlemen:— We the undersigned party on your “home seekers’’ excursion of Doc. 17,1907 want to express to you our appreciation and at the same time thank you and compliment you on the completeness of the arrangements by which we have had such an enjoyable and comfortable trip all the time, from the time we left Chioago, until we are ready to leave for home, including our trip overland, to inspect the land you have for sale. We had been told of this central Texas land by' your workers and thought we had a fair idea of what we would see when we got to the land, but many of us were favorably disappointed and all of us pleased with the,land, believing it is well adapted to diversified farming such as we are accustomed to in Illinois and Indiana; we are satisfied that a man with the energy manifest in the northern farmI er, exerted in this country, very j profitable results can be obtained. Some of us have purchased land, j others must oomplete arrangements for the purchase, before we are able to buy, but we all recomthis territory to all intending purchasers, for we find a olimate, splendid water at a shallow depth, plenty of rain fall, building material much cheaper than where we now live, fuel very reasonable, oosting $2.12 for the Jbest of coal per ton, school facilities are good, rural mail delivery and telephone service at your command. Your Pullman palace private oar enables the “home-seeker” to travel in perfect ease, without being jolted and crowded as in common on regular excursions, and to all intending purchasers, we want to recommend that they go with the South and West Land Co„ and see as we believe the best land to be obtained in the great state of Texas. Again thanking you we are, Very truly, S. E. Smith, Barrington, 111. W. C. Meyer, Barrington, 111. T. L. Erickson, Gibson City, 111. W. S. Lowman, Rensselaer, Ind. H. Brinker, Barrington, 111. A. L.
