The man that makes ‘money in these days is the man that .sees his opportunity and grasps it. The greatest fortunes ever made have been
those obtained in a new country before keen competition lowered the profits and increased expenses. Cuba and her opportunities for Fruit cul
ture is a source of wealth becoming recognized more and more eac.h day. Thousands of far sighted business men of America and Canada are
taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the island and are laying the foundations by investments there of future fortunes as great as any ever made in a new country. The average person
wants an investment which will give him a REGULAR AND GOOD INCOME, and to this end there is no form of investment that offers as large profits and steadily increasing dividends as does
Fruit Culture in the Island of Cuba.
Cuba.
By locut ion, climate and all natural conditions Cuba is the
ideal country for fruit growers. In Cuba there is never any
frost. Fruit shipped from her ports ean reach the markets
as soon as Florida fruit and long before California products.
The soil is rich and alluvial and fruits grow there with prodigal
profuseness unknown in this or northern countries.
The Climate of Cuba is delightful. There are rainy and
dry seasons, but it could he said with truth the sun shines
every day in the year. The Island is tilled with running
springs of good water and with proper sanitary conditions
Cuba is one of the most healthy places in the world.
The nights are almost invariably clear the yenr around,
and during the dry seuson a heavy dew keeps the ground al
ways fresh and cool. Hurricanes and storms are almost un
known in the eastern part where are situated the grove:, of
the Bartle Fruit Co.
Elevations along the Northeastern part of Cuba also make
this part free from fevers of any kind. The temperature of
the Island varies from 52 degrees to HO degrees Fahrenheit,
there rarely ever being an unbearably hot day as is found in
more northern climates. The atmosphere Hag that peculiar
dearness found in the Rocky Mountains. ? ' ■ '
Fruit Culture.
Up to the present time little lias been done to profit
from the products of Cuba, The natives are too indolent aud
lack the necessary capital. The Island, however, offers the best
opportunities of any country for raising such fruits as Oranges,
Lemons, flrapefruit, etc.
Oranges: Cuba offers the finest oranges grown. The skin
is thinner and they are sweeter than any other oranges, and of
exquisite flavor. Orange trees grow and flourish %ith but lit
tle care and a lack of attention that would surprise the Flor
ida and California Fruit Grower.
Lemons and Limes are growing wild over the island. With
a little care and attention they could he made to yield a large
income to the grower.
Grapefruit will grow in tin* greatest profuseness and is a
very prolific producer yielding a fine profit.
Orange trees on the Island of Cuba begin to bear during
the third year and yield from 1,000 to 10,000 oranges annu
ally. The trees bear from 50 to 75 years and increase in produc
tivity as they grow older. Trees are planted 20 feet apart each
way, are trimmed each year aud kept free from weeds. Apart
from this there is no trouble or expense beyond gathering
and shipping the fruit, which is inexpensive.
Shipping facilities in Cuba arc improving each year. To
day there are thirteen railway companies there, most of them
owned and operated by Americans.
A fair estimate on the net profit from Orange Culture iu
Cuba is.$1.00 per box. Some groves have averaged as high as
$2.50 net profit.per box.

The Bartle Fruit Co.
The Bartle Fruit Co. is an organization of prominent Ca
nadians and Americans who are interested in Real Estate/ in
Cuba. The Bartle Fruit Company own 1,000 acres clear and un
encumbered, which were purchased from the Cuban Realty
Company, of Toronto, who are owners of over 25,000 acres of
land in the province of Santiag • dr Cuba.
The Company gets its name from the Cuban town near
which it is situated. Bartle, Cuba. This is a thriving town
only a few miles from the port of Xipe, on t lye Northeastern
coast. Only a few months ago" it was a wilderness. Today it
is the home of over sixty Canadian and American families, has
a beautiful concrete railway station, ns good a hotel as is usu
ally found in small American towns, and Dr. Preston, a promi
nent specialist of Utica, X. Y., is now erecting a handsome
$50,000 sanatorium there within 300 yards of our groves.
Bartle is one of tlie healthiest and most delightful plaees
to live on the Island. To investors there it offers, apart
from the immense profits, a most delightful summer and win
ter resort.
Transportation from Bartle is unsurpassed on the Islanf).
The Culm railway runs'directly past the groves of the com
pany. The port of Xipe is twenty-four hours nearer New York
than Havana and fruit reaches New York within tlire'e days af
ter being loaded at Bartle.
Our Proposition.
The proposition of the Bartle Fruit Company to the inves
tor in Cuban Fruit Groves is a legitimate business one offer
ing large returns and easy methods of investment.
The Bartle Fruit Company will sell you an acre of land
set aside for this sale for $500, payable $10 down nnd $10 per
month for 50 months. Immediately on receipt of your first
payment, we will plant your property with budded, stock two
years old in oranges, lemons or grapefruit as you may desire.
At the end of your payments, we will deliver to you the deed to
the property. IVe guarantee the property at this time to be
benring at least eighty trees with a marketable crop of fruit.
The annual income from your property per acre at this
time should be at least $240. This is based on the lowest re
sults now being obtained and the average price of oranges. The
sixth year it should'produce at least $400 to the acre. At the
tenth year a very low estimate would be $800 to the acre. As
the trees grow older they produce more every year.
It should be borne in mind that the fruit grower in Cuba
has none of the evils to fear that continually beset the growers
in Florida, There is never any frost in Cuba. When the crop
is planted it will thrivp and produce where ordinary care is giv
en the groves. This is arranged for by the'company employing
two of the most experienced men they could find to give their
entire time and attention to the work.
There is no 3,000 mile haul as from California. Freight
rates are about tile same as from Florida.
