They vary according to soil, location, water supply, timber and other advantages. In precisely the same manner as other lands do.
All these peculiarities of every lot for sale, may be learned at the office of the land Commissioner, or of any of the local agents along the line; but every man should examine in person the land he expects to cultivate, and the locality where is to be his home, and for this every facility is offered.
The 600,000 acres of Railroad lands already sold have been wonderfully improved. The increase in their value is in many cases almost incredible.
Much equally good land can still be purchased at low rates on the same easy terms, and with prospects of steady and large rise in value equally good.
Better terms than these have never been offered and probably never will be. We invite comparison and defy competition.
Those who purchase for cash, receive on the spot a Certificate of Purchase, and a Warranty Deed as soon as it can be executed. In purchasing either on Short Credit or Long Credit, a Contract or a Bond for a Deed is executed, and as soon. an a payments are made, a Warranty Deed, free from incumbrance, is given, just as when lands are purchased for cash down. No abstract of title is necessary as the lands were granted directly to the railroad company by the United States.
EXTRAORDINARY INDUCEMENTS on freight and passage are afforded to purchasers and their families.
CIRCULARS containing all you want to know about these lands, situation, towns. schools, soil, climate, products, stock, markets, railroads, etc., are furnished gratuitously. SEND FOR THEM Every one who means to GO WEST should get a copy without delay, and READ IT THROUGH CAREFULLY. It will be the best preparation he can have.
SECTIONAL MAPS on large scale, showing the exact location of our lands in Iowa, furnished for 30 cents each, and similar maps of those in Nebraska at same price.
