Listen to what a keen observer says about WINTER GARDEN DISTRICT Farms
“SOIL, CLIMATE TRANSPORTATION, HIGHWAYS, WATER FOR IRRIGA-
TION, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, BANKS, STORES, -- Yes, the famous WINTER
GARDEN COUNTRY has everything with which to make a prosperous, substantial,
successful farming country. It is but four hours’drive over the WINTER GARDEN
TRAIL to the greatest city in Texas, and only one hour’s drive to EAGLE PASS, THE
CENTRAL GATEWAY TO MEXICO. Land values are at the lowest figures you will
see. This land will produce all staple crops, fruits, including citrus. Think of being able
to buy raw land in 25-acre tracts at a price that will enable you to improve it and not
have the total cost of land, water, fields, etc., exceed $100 an acre. WHAT ARE YOU
WAITING FOR? Compare this price with Lower Valley at from $250 to $1,000 an
acre; California at from $500 to $5,000, and Florida at any old price you care to men-
tion, from $500 up, mostly up. Strike while the iron is hot. Some 400 homeseekers from
all over America grasped this opportunity last week and bought 5,000 acres. If you
let the Lower Valley get away from you, here is the 'number two knock’ on your door,
and a louder knock at that.”
We have a tract of this famous WINTER GARDEN land, located on
the Eagle Pass-Dilley Highway and only thirteen miles from Carrizo
Springs, a railroad shipping point, with abundance of ARTESIAN
WATER at 500 feet from the surface, and improvements which can not
be replaced for $5,000, consisting of a six-room frame house, a tenant
house, stone barn and loft, artesian well, windmill, and a dirt tank
90x180. This tract will cut into twenty-eight 25-acre farms, and we can
sell you one or more of these under the following conditions*
CASH .... $500.oo
Five yearly notes of
$100 each at 8% - 500.oo
Cost of 25 acres, $1,000.oo
In order not to give anyone purchaser the advantage over the rest in pick-
ing his or her tract, we shall number each 25-acre tract and have the pur-
chasers draw their tracts by lot after all the tracts have been signed up
for and the first payment deposited, in trust, with the State Bank and
Trust Comnanv of Eagle Pass, Texas. ONE OF THE 25-ACRE
part of this entire tract ever overflows
