Land History Repeats Itself (Private Car Excursion October 15 ) IN 1612 farm lands in America sold for beads or trinkets. IN 1712 for tobacco. „ IN 1812 for SI.OO or less an acre. , IN 1912 as high as SSOO to SI,OOO per acre. From 1612 to 1912 every generation said: “Oh! How we would like the chance to getland our fathers had.” Some who saw the opportunity in their own day bought land and laid the foundations for some of the world’s greatest fortunes, ' M

your grand dad had mine excuse for neglecting land opportunities, because 75 or 100 years ago the “uneraned increment” came slowly and there was seemingly an endless amount of land to be had. In this generation we find men kicking themselves (and they ought to.) because they did not buy even ten years ago and now be enjoying double and treble returns from the investment. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING could not trumpet forth and emblazon more plainly to the thinking man the fact that when any agricultural land in this country is worth SSOO to SI,OOO per acre, then any ohter good farm land that can be bought for $lO to $35 per acre is a great opportunity. A HUNDRED YEARS may have been required to double laud values in the age when men "fought for land 'with sword and lance; but in these times, when peace reigns practically throughput the world, it has taken 'less than ten years, as is shown by the census statistics. Since the multitude went from Egypt to the promised land several thousand years ago, land history has been repeating itself.

AS SURELY as the price of land in the U. S. has doubled in the last ten years, just so surely will-$lO to $35 land in the Swigart tract at least double in value in the next ten years. It ought to do far better. Much of this land is now selling at sl7 per acre and is ridiculously underpriced, and I believe will sell for $l5O per acre in the year 1920. You can see it right now producing staple crops of as much money value per acre as the average $l5O land in Illinois.

THERE’S A CLAIM ON YOU Mr. Investor, Mr. Homeseeker, Mr. Farmer, Mr. Fruit Grower, in this tract, because it has things you want. Things you need. Plants take their food 1,000 ]>arts of water to one of dry matter. A pound loaf of bread takes two tons of water from the time of the planting the wheat. A ton of hay pumps 500 tons of water through the eoil. You want pure water and plenty of it. This land has It. Good markets, short hauls, good transportation are things you want. This tract is worth more because it is only 170 miles from Chicago and is nearer Grand IRapide, Milwaukee and Detroit. It has four railroads, several steamship lines and no 40 acres is more than five mile $Wm a shipping nointfr fend 30,000 people to buy its products in Ludington and Manistee, cities located on the edge of the tract. YOU WANT a healthy climate; doctors recommend ours.

Full particulars can be had by addressing George W. Swigart, owner, 1247 First National Bank Building, Chicago, 111., or his agent, C. J. DEAN, Rensselaer, Ind.

Now is the time to come and see the splendid croi>s of clover, rye, alfalfa, hay and vegetables, beans, .potatoes, etc. 1 want doubters and skeptics—those who find it hard to believe that such low-priced land will produce such good crops—to come now and be convinced, IT IS EASY to read the past. It is an open book. Knowing the same things will happen over again, why do you not act? The terms on the land permit of your taking hold at once.
