KING My Friend-Do you remember the Home of Your Boyhood-in the Country? Most City Men were Born in the Country, and most of their Children's Children will be Born in the Country, and the Reasons are Many and Obvious. If you were born in the Country, You will never Forget the Old Home. It was just a simple, unpretentious House, set about with big trees, with circling meadows and fields rich with the promise of harvest. Inside the House was the Table spread with snowy linen, the Big restful Beds, the Old Open Fireplace, and the old Family Bible, holding the simple annals of the Family and the Heart and Conscience of the Home. And when you came Home from the Fields, there was always assurance of good Things to Eat when You "Put your feet under Father's Table," for Mother was There to See to That. taking their Children out into the Clear Sunlight in the Country, where they will be as Healthy and Happy as You were in your Boyhood Home. How about You, My Friend? Why don't You give your Boy and Girl a Square Deal and an Even Chance? You ought to Try and give Them a Real Home, and You ought to start NOW. And I would Further advise you to get a Home in the Rain Belt of Gulf Coast Texas, where you can grow Three big Crops a Year on the same Soil, without Irrigation or Fertilization. Do You Know that Growers of Figs, Strawberries and Early Vegetables clear a Net Profit of $300 to $500 an Acre in Gulf Coast Texas? Do You Know men have realized more than $1,000 an acre Growing Oranges in Our Country? If you Do Not know these things, you should read up on the subject, and you must not fail to get our Book, which In those days Father was to you the Greatest Man in all the World, and you still revere him as A Grand Old Man. He was just a plain farmer, a simple, upright man, with no Mortgage on his Roof, no Lien on his Growing Crops, Master of His Land, and Master of Himself. I suppose You often ask Yourself why You didn't stick to the Old Home, with its assurance of Peace and Plenty. I Know Why. It was the Call of the City. It Lured You and Fooled You, just as it has thousands of your Fellows. You have long since learned that your Progress in the City was more apparent than Real; that You are Like the Slave on the Treadmill-always striving, but never really getting on. And so, Today, there is Another Call that Tugs at Your Heartstrings, and makes You Resolve for the Future. It is the Call of the Country. It is a Call that is Ever Old and Ever New, and it is Growing every Day. More and More Men are leaving the dust and grime of the City's Streets, and contains nearly 100 photographs of growing Crops, etc. What would You think of a little Town of about 1200 People situated near our lands, where they ship on an average of $400,000 worth of Fruit, Vegetables, Poultry, Eggs, etc., a Year?
