The object of all development
leagues is to induce immigration
of good citizens from the eastern
states to the Rogue River Valley.
The Roque River Land Co.
has been a pioneer in this devel
opment business, having made
the first move in the valley to in
duce desirable immigrants to re
move here and to partake of our
advantages and climate. In the
last two years we have located a
large number of 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 irr 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. It is high time
for all sections of this valley to
pull together and quit “ knock
ing.”
