Big Business

PRIVATE CAR EXCURSION JUNE 18 AV E HEAR A GOOD DEAL about ‘‘Big Business” nowadays, but after all is said and done and we “ :j et back to earth again' 1 it must be admitted that land and agriculture constitute the biggest “big business” there is. PRODUCTS OF THE UNITED STATES are roughly estimated at $30,000,000,000 yearly, including agriculture, manufactures, forests, mines and fisheries. Agriculture contributes one-fourth of this vast sum to the wealth of the Nation, and no other one source produces more than 30 per cent, of what is produced by agriculture.

AGRICULTURE IS THE ONE “Big Business’’ where you don’t have to buy certificates of stock to “get in," only to find you have no voice in the management. THE TROUBLE TO ANTICIPATE about agriculture is that' land is becoming so valuable that it takes more and more capital to buy it every year ; and those who are forever putting it -off will some day awaken and find it the same did story—too lat<*—out of reach. THE BEAUTY OF THE SWlgart lands is that a man who will act now , has a real chance—the lands are mar to the great' markets of Chicago, Milwaukee. Grand Rapids find Detroit’, and the location in Mason. Manistee and Lake Counties the center of Michigan’s Fruit Belt is all that can by desired. AMPLE TRANSPORTATION by both lake and mil. ami the local markets, including Ludington ami Manistee.- with :i(»,(toti population, ale excellent. The soil is of the best in Michigan, very productive of all the staple; crops, and vegetables and especially adapted to growing tine flavored apples, pi-aches. pears, cherries, plums, etc. often one crop of potatoes pays for the entire cost of .the land. QUALITY AND LOCATION considered, there is no land in Mlcnigan lower priced or that promises a man quicker returns and profits on his investment. Prices now are to $35, and on 'much of the land only sl6 per acre. The average man can’t buy the expensive land in the neighboring states. The terms of $lO to SSO down and $.5 to $lO per month on 4(1 acres enable most anyone to buy here,; While buying it. if you -should die. the farm will be deeded to your family free
