South and West Land Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Gentlemen: We the undersigned party on your “homeseekers” excursion of Dec. 17th, 1907, want to express to you our appreciation and at the same time thank you and compli meqt you, on the dompleteneaMof the arrangements by which we have had such an enjoyable and comfortable trip all the time from the tinye we left Chicago, until we were ready to leave tor home includ ing our trip over; land, to inspect the land yon have for sale. We had been told of this central Texas land by yon! workers and thought we had a fair idea of what we would see wheu got to the laud, but many of us were favor ably disappointed and all ,of us thoroly pleased with the land, believing it is well adapted to diversified farming such as we are accustomed to in- Illinois and Indiana. We are satisfied that a man wi*h the energy manifested in the northern farmer, exerted in this country, very profitable results can be obtained. Some of us have purchased land, others mast complete arrangements for the purchase, before we are able to buy, but we all recommend this territory to all intending purchasers for we find a delightful climate, splendid water a* a shallow depth, p enty of rain fall, building mater ial much cheaper than where we now-live, fuel very reasonable, cost ing $2.12 ror the best of coal per ton, school facilities are good, rural mail delivery and telephone services at your command. Your Pullman Palace frrivate car enables the “homesee to travel in perlectease, without being jostled and crowded as is common on regular excursions, and to all intending purchasers, we want to recommemi that they go Vlth the South and West Land Company, and see as believe the best land to be obtained in the great State of Texas. Again thanking you we are Very truly S. E. Smith, Barrington, 111. W. C. Meyer, Barrington, 111. Igr. L. Erickson, Gibson City, 111. WAS. Lo wina n, Re nsse lae r ,Ind. H. Brinker, Barrington, 111.
