have prospered w ill,b e of help to others; and w ill encourage
those who might come' among ua to make their homes to
know how men before them have succeeded.
We believe
that from the experience of these men new comers w ill be
able to gather a fund of information that may be worked
over to lit the tastes and thef pocket bdoks of such as might
wish to make a home here in onr midst.
W e bare discovered In talking with these men who have
succeeded on "Ashland Acres’* that It won’t do to feel that
these acres owe any man a living, bnt that these same acres
are saying' to these successful onae, "there is a rich Day
streak here, come work it out." So any man who w ill work,
not hard and long honre, bnt steadily, persistently, consist
ently and above all with hie head as well as his bands has
a mighty good chance to "m ake good" on almost any piece
of land (p the Ashland district.
Before we start these Ashland Acres talks let us
analyse the situation fairly from a ll angles. F irst from the
stand-point < of what tlfere Is to be found here that w ill
