A

Little

Land

—and

a Living

THAT

is

the hope

and aim

of

nearly every man.

And

this aim

is

a natural one.

For

a

little land

and

a

living

means

Freedom

and

Happiness.

Since the earliest

beginnings

of history, men

have

struggled

and

fought

for

land. Those vv^ho

Secured the

land

became

the

prosper-

ous

and

contented

class,

\vhile

those

who Gave

Up their land

be-

came

peasants

and

slaves.

Today, the poverty

stricken peasants

of

Europe

are

the

descend-

ants of

those

who

lost

their land

Hundreds

of

Years

Before. And

the

pity of

it is they

w^ill Never

be

able to get

it

again

because

the

land

in

Europe

is

all

gone.

•But

in This country

there is still Plenty of

land, and there

is

still

plewty of it

Within

the

Reach of

All.

And

You should

not

rest

a

moment

until

You

have

enough

of

it

to

support

You

in

comfort,

and

enough

to

establish

an Imperishable Legacy for

your children.

For

land

is the Safest and Surest

investment on

earth.
