-The Story in a Nutshell
The Oregon Land Development Co., P. C. Lavey, Presi
dent and General Manager; W. Markillie, Vice-President
and Field Manager, and C. W. Hodson, Secretary,
and Treasurer, controls 40,000 acres of Oregon land.
These lands are not one vast arid body, but are located
in bodies of various sizes from 160 acres to 6000 acres
in fifteen different counties, as follows: Baker, Curry,
Crook, Douglas, Grant, Harney, . Jackson; Josephine,
Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Union, Umatilla, Wallowa and
Wasco.
This company will open these lands to ihe public
in farms of 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640 acres, each.
All farms, regardless of size, will be valued alike and
sold for $125.00 each. . ' .
Each purchaser of a contract will hold an undivid-'
ed interest in these farms, and the contract holders,
themselves shall, with their representatives, decide hoAV
these lands shall be apportioned.

Contract printed on this page gives full information to

Our Reason for This Plan of Sale
The recent successful opening of 300,000 acres of land
at Lakeview, Oregon, which w(as approved by the Gov
ernment officials, made it possible for individual com-
; panies o wiling large bodies of land, to dispose of them
quickly and in a manner which saved to the purchaser
all the enormous cost of livery hire, automobile hire,
hotel bills, railway fare and he usual vast amount of
money expended in selling and showing lands,. all of
which at times amounts to more than the original cost
of the land itself, and which expense is, of course, added
to the price of the land, which the purchaser has to pay.
If sold in the usual slow, expensive manner, it would
take years of work by an army of men to show and sell
these" lands to people who are habitual sightseers and
to people who, before purchasing, would have to make
several trips to the lands. ,
Time is the most valuable thing in the world today,
consequently the business of the world is carried on by
time-saving methods. Our plan 'is a- money-saver to
the purchaser and a time-saver to this Company, which
is just the same as money. These contracts will be sold
before Christmas this year, as a large force of salesmen
are already in the field. Get yours as soon as possible.
