LOCATION This tract of 14,000 acres of land is located in Townships 41 and 42. Range 30 east, De Soto County, Florida. This is a part of the wonderful and renowned Caloosahatchee River District and is just 12 miles west of Lake Okeechobee. The Haines City branch of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad extends through the Tract from north to south and Hall City, covering 2160 acres, is located in the center of the Tract, which affords excellent shipping facilities. THE DEVELOPMENT The Syndicate will drain, fence and break th land, putting it under cultivation as rapidly as possible. It is our purpose to plant a large acreage of sugar cane, which, at the present market prices, will yield a profit of from $300 to $400 per acre. r Cattle and hog raising is one of the main features of farming in this locality. As grass grows 12 months in the year the cost of feeding them is but a small item and ready markets are awaiting them in Jacksonville, Florida, and in Cuba. FRUITS . While great varieties of fruits are being raised, only a few have been brought to a high state of cultivation. The following more or less extensively raised in the location of our Tract: Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grape Fruit, Pineapples, Bananas, Mangoes, Avocado Pears, Sapodillas. Guavas, Cocoanuts, Strawberries, Pecans, Pears, Peaches, Plums. Grapes and Figs. VEGETABLES On neighboring farms all around this Tract are raised fine crops of Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Beans, Peanuts, Onions, Lettuce, Celery, Peppers, Potatoes, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Squash, Egg Plant, Cucumbers, Watermelons, Canteloupes, Beets, Sugar Corn and Lima Beans. FARM PRODUCTS. The following products are among the leading: Corn. Oats, Wheat. Rye. Broom Corn, Sugarcane, Sorghum, and a number of varieties of Hay.

LIVE STOCK AND POULTRY The following are being successfully raised: Cattle, Hogs, Horses, Sheep. Goats. Chickens, Ducks. Greese and Turkeys. HIGH COST OF LIVING The problem of reducing the high cost of farm produce and fruits can only be solved by co-operation.. THE FLORIDA-CALUMET FRUIT & FARMING SYNDICATE purposes, so far as possible, to ship its products in carload lots directly into the Calumet Region and sell to the local merchant, thus saving a numbej of jobbers commissions. Our plan includes a permanent marketing organization, both at Hall City, Florida, and in the Calumet District. GOOD INVESTMENT Why not invest $2,500.00 (cash or deferred payment plan) and get a grove that will net you from $2,500.00 to $5,000.00 per year, and enjoy summer time all the year round? REMEMBER! No winter clothes or coal to buy ! No snow to tramp through ! But beautiful sunshine, summer flowers, and the shade trees and fresh vegetables from your own garden all the year round. SHARES All shares of the FLORIDA-CALUMET FRUIT & FARMING SYNDICATE have a par value of $250 each, and are guaranteed by the 14,00 acres of land of the Syndicate and all money received from the very limited number of shares offered for sale will be used to develop this tract.
