Big Business PRIVATE CAR EXCURSION JUNE 18 WE HEAR A GOOD DEAL about “Big Business” nowadays, but after all is said and done and we “»et back to earth again” 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 vdlee in the management. THE TROUBLE TO ANTICIPATE ibout 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 late—out of reach. THE BEAUTY OF THE SWlgart lands is that a man who will act now has a real chance—the lands are near to the great’ markets of Chicago, Milwaukee. Grand Rapids and Detroit’, and the location in Mason. Manistee and latke Cotinties—the center of Michigan's Fruit Belt—is all that can be desired. AMPLE TRANSPORTATION by both lake and rail, and the local markets, including Ludington and Manistee, with 30.000 population, are 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, peaches. 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 mah quicker returns and profits on his investment. Prices now are $lO 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 s|o to SSO down and $., to $lO per month on 40 acres enable most anyone to buy here. While buying it, if you should die. the farm will be deeded to your family free.

A Reminder to Our Customers of Rawleigh Quality. I am on my way . wait for me, as I have one of the best lines of remedies for wounds on horses, sore shoulders, sore necks, wire cuts. Be sure to get a supply of me when I call for future accidents, as they come very uncertain and you are most sure to need some before I call again on the next trip. Also ask to see our Collie and Bloat Remedy for horses and cattle. Yours for business, O. N. HILE. Not Buying Eggs for Me. I's ; you are or have been approached by any person who claims that he is buying eggs or poultry for me, don't believe them. I have no canvassers on the road, but save the expense of sending out solicitors and give my customers the benefit. Bring in your good, fresh eggs. I am now buying on a candle basis, as I have done in previous years, which gives advantage to those who have the best quality. The Fancy Produce Market, Phone 39. Mrs. J. E. Henry, Akron, Mich., tells how she did so: “I was- both-, ered with my kidneys and had to go nearly double. I tried a sample of Foley Kidney Pills and they did me so much good that I bought a bottle, and feel that they saved me a big doctor’s bill.”—A. F. Long.
