THE SWIGART TRACT AND YOUR INDEPENDENCE. ™ U MONEY ENOUGH to buy a farm in the Corn sloo to S2OO per acre? Would you invest at those prices, when von stop to consider that your money in farm mortgages will brine a w*, ter rate of interest than those farms are earning on their high vain/ lions? Corn Belt land is averaging an annual earning of oShr 4 per, cent of its valuation. There’s a demand now for cheaner that will earn as much, or the same priced land that will earn or even higher priced land that will earn two or three times as as land in the Corn Belt. A farmer can’t buy $l5O to S2OO land in Indiana or Illinois and expect to make the crops pay for it m the Swigart Tract, in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties ' Mieh igan, a crop or two of potatoes give him hack the reasonable uri/e now asked for the land. price

class of people. There is morn settling, building and developing going on here than in anv other part of the state. ' WHAT MAKES THE SWIGART PLAN SO WELL LIKED te its liberality. Terms are as low as $lO to SSO down and $5 to tin per montM»«n 40 acres; 5 per cent for all cash, or ahnual payments Prices are now $lO to $35 and on much land only sls -per acre. Swigart is financially able to fulfill his promises; ask the First National ® an Chicago. Swigart owns the lands, gives perfect title, knows the needs of the farmer. Hig palicy is to satisfy—not simply to sell If you should die while buying the land, the farm will be deeded to your family free. This costs nothing extra and is a protection which every careful man appreciates. WHAT MAKES THE SWIG4RT TRACT THE LOGICAL PLACE TO BUY is that one can piek from over a thousand 40-acre farms and many larger and smaller farms. It {3 the largest and best collection of lands in the Fruit Belt. A number of fine new tracts have recently been added. Considering the advantages, and the location and quality of land, this is the best offer in Michigan, and promises most rapid increase in value. POST YOURSELF.

IF YOU HAVEN’T SB,OOO with which to buy a 40-acre Corn Belt farm, but have $640 to buy a 40acre Fruit Belt farm which, with a little additional expense in clearing, .will produce as many dollars per acre in staple crops, it would be a good purchase, wouldn’t it? And when your Fruit Belt farm is developed in Fruit and earns twice, thrice, or even four times as much as the Corn Belt farm does in corn, then it beoopies the best land investment possible. THAT FRUIT BELT FARM is in the SWIGART TRACT, in the center and best part of Michigan’s Fruit Belt. , Better be doing something about it while the opportunity is yours. If a man’s desire for land amounts to as much as the small railroad fare and a couple of days time investigating, then we put our time against his, furnish team free, and drive as long as he likes. Farm-renters are buying here for les* yearly outlay B of money than it takes to rent a farm of the same acreage in Indiana. Would you like to own a farm? This proposition brings it within easy reach. It is a proposition that is sound and of proven merit. That is its reputation. For 17 years Swigart has been acquiring the Tract, examining lands and soil, growing products, and expects to work his remaining years in the upbuilding of this district. WHAT MAKES THE SWIGART LANDS SO DESIRABLE is warm, quickly producing, good soil; well drained, gently rolling and level lay of land; proper distance from Lake Michigan to get most benefit from its influence; best shipping facilities, both lake and rail; excellent local markets, healthful, moderated climate; water pure as crystal, plentiful rainfall; pretty inland lakes and trout streams; good roads, good schools; excellent
