Show PROMONTORY LAND COMPANY HAS GOOD YEAR When Congressman Joseph Howell tho late David Eccles, Hon. M. S. Browning, II. E. Hatch, and their as-soclates as-soclates purchased tho mammoth Promontory Curlew tract of land some eight years ago the country was full of skeptics who prophesied all sorts of failures, defaults etc. When the stock was being subscribed to take over this vast acreage many who had been approached would take the first opportunity to got out o the way whei? Uiey saw one of the company's representatives coming. com-ing. Aliuost within tho twinkling ot an eye the sceno was changed, and within ono year the company's successes suc-cesses were bo many, and bo- phen-omlnal phen-omlnal that all theso skeptics, and pessimists, were kicking themselves for their own folly and lack ot foresight. After eight years It Is well to take an Inventory, check up and seo what has been done. During this period over two thousand acres havo been sold. Hundreds of thousands of acres havo been fenced, and nearly a quarter ot a million acres havo been placed under cultivation. Roads, schoolhouses, meeting houses, stores, and fine homes have been built, and throughout the Blue Springs nnd tho Hansel Valleys where eight years ago was nothing but sage brush and desolation, now farms and homes and schools are on every hand. Has the Promontory-Curlew Land Co. had no failures tho Investigator asks? Failures, why bless your soul yes. And so have there been failures fail-ures In fertile Cache Valley, in the sunny south, in Kansas, in Missouri, in Nebraska, and throughout the Da-kotas. Da-kotas. But with It this company has had its years ot plenty, and. during these years the land has yielded from twenty to"forty bushels of wheat per acre. In spite ot drouth, frost, and short crops all of the land, purchasers aro making good, not ono has been driven driv-en from the land. A great many havo paid for their land In full and have received title, others are now taking advantage of the federal loans, and still others are getting state loans at reduced rates ot Interest. No better recommendation for the quality of land Is tho fact that the state and the government considers It good se curity. Such Is the land of tho Promontory-Curlew Land Company. All this has not been done without effort. In fact, it has required work, hard, hard work. Tho management ot tho Promontor-Curlew Land Company Com-pany decided in advance that It did not want mon to settle on Its land that In tho first plac& did not know how to work, and In the second place that would not work, nnd work hard. Its carefully examined all Its applicants appli-cants for land, nnd If convinced that an applicant would not mako good his application was not favorably considered. Tho company did not, want, and would not take the money ot an applicant that gave evidence of not making good. Under such conditions tho business of tho company com-pany has been substantial. In evory case It has given value received. It has glvon tho purchaser a chance to mako some money along with the company. It has maintained friendly friend-ly nnd substantial relations with Its purchasers, has not found It necessary neces-sary to cancel contract after contract as is the caso with many companies, and to its everlasting credit It has not had a slnglo law suit. This company has yet for sale 100-000 100-000 acres of tho cheapest and best non-Irrigated wheat lands In the United States, and thousands of acres of grazing lands, and other lands suitable for the raising ot ryo, lands that aro destined to be very valuable for tho cattle men of tho lutermountaln region. Tho company's main offlco Is at Logan, Utah. A now illustratod booklet has just beon prlntod and Is yours for tho asking. Wrlto the company and seo for yourself what It has to offor. |
