Farms For Sale
During the past seven days we have sold ten tracts aggregating $42,000.00. This
is sufficient evidence that our price is right.
We still have on hand several good farms to show you. She prices range from
$17.50 to $75.00 per acre, owing to improvements and location.
In our honest judgment now is the time to buy land. For the next five years we
are not likely to have any cheap prices forany of the products of the farm. Take our
advice and buy you a farm to day, whether you buy from us or not.
We would be glad to show you any of the farms we have for sale.
