The Rogue River Land Co. has been a pioneer in this devel opment business, having made the first move in the vaUey to in duce desirable immigrants to re move here and to partake o f our advantages and climate. In the last two years we have located a large npmber o f the best citizens to be found in the valley. Cen tral Point has attracted many of them. The Rogue River Land com pany guarantees fair treatment to its customers. We will in a short time again send a man east to extol the merits of this sec tion. Give us a credit mark and boost our way.
