Canada Says: “Gome &ves* aitd Sea My Offerings' We are accustomed to hear Canada spoken of “My Lady of the Snows” —when as a matter of fact that part of Canada in which we are operating, Essex and Kent Counties, is very little different in soil and climatic conditions from that of its neighbor, Michigan, just across the river in the fertile lands surrounding Detroit. . Indeed it has advantages over its Michigan neighbor, for the lands in Essex and Kent Counties are tempered by the winds of Lake Erie, and in consequence a level temperature prevents sudden extremes of heat and cold —which insures uniform crops. Canada is prospering. The highest percentage of growth ever reached in the United States, in any ten years in its history, was 24 per cent, whereas Canada’s increase in the decade between 1901 and 1911 was 32 per cent! Hon. Robert Rogers, head of the Immigration Department of Canada, says: “It will be my privilege to offer our American cousins a > welcome hearty and sincere and to so contribute to their welfare that under the protecting folds of the Union Jack they will enjoy as great a degree of liberty and happiness as under the Stars and Stripes.” Straus Brothers Company are very much interested in their Ontario land offerings and shall be pleased to give intending purchasers every opportunity to investigate their lands, under the direction and guidance of our representatives who are thoroughly familiar with soil and conditions in that highly favored section.
