Michigan Wants Farmers!. A Good Place To Locate

MANY FARMERS from the north and central states are going to Michigan’s most progressive district, where new towns are rapidly growing up and a thriving community is being established. This district is in Mason, Manistee and Lake counties, in a large tract of land most fortunately located for commercial and agrciuitural purposes. It is known as the Swigart Tract and men who are familiar with conditions in Michigan recognize that it has entered an era of development such as has never been seen before in the state.

SOME SPECIAL ADVANTAGES that are drawing to the Swigart Tract more settlers than to any part of the Wolverine State are as folows: It lies in the center of Michigan’s Famous Fruit Belt, and is especially adapted for fruit growing, the lands being just near enough to derive the greatest benefit from Lake Michigan’s influence; mild, even climate; a combination of the elements insuring successful crops; local markets, including Ludington and 1 Manistee, with over 30,000 combined population, on the edge of the tract; surrounded by a well settled country; four lines of railroads; products delivered by lake steamers to Chicago and Milwaukee over night; schools . and churches throughout the tract; home conditions ideal; many thousands of acres to select the place for the renter to come ■who is tired of farming where farm iiands are owned by the wealthy alone; the place for the sman to come who is tired of working for someone else. Nowhere can one find lands for sale at $lO to $35 per .acre that can be made to so quickly produce a living. DO YOU WANT a productive piece of farm land that will support you in plenty while you build it up into a property becoming constantly more valuable, then buy in the Swigart Tract. There’s where your money will go the farthest. For

$lO to SSO down and $5 to $lO per month you can buy 40 acres. While you are buying the farm, if you should die, it will be deeded to your family free from any further payments. ' THAT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of people are becoming aware of the fact that probably never again will such good lands be offered at such low prices and on such low terms is evident because the large number going to the Swigart Tract makes it necessary to run SPECIAL PULLMAN CARS to take care of them—always one car and often two cars, twice each month, for ten months of the year. have learned that conditions in this tract are right. The lands are tried and proven. First excursion of 1912 leaves Chicago Tuesday, March 19, at 12 o’clock noon.
