A
Little
Land
—and
a Living
THAT
is
the hope
and aim
of
nearly every man.
And
this aim
is
a natural one.
For
a
little land
and
a
living
means
Freedom
and
Happiness.
Since the earliest
beginnings
of history, men
have
struggled
and
fought
for
land. Those vv^ho
Secured the
land
became
the
prosper-
ous
and
contented
class,
\vhile
those
who Gave
Up their land
be-
came
peasants
and
slaves.
Today, the poverty
stricken peasants
of
Europe
are
the
descend-
ants of
those
who
lost
their land
Hundreds
of
Years
Before. And
the
pity of
it is they
w^ill Never
be
able to get
it
again
because
the
land
in
Europe
is
all
gone.
•But
in This country
there is still Plenty of
land, and there
is
still
plewty of it
Within
the
Reach of
All.
And
You should
not
rest
a
moment
until
You
have
enough
of
it
to
support
You
in
comfort,
and
enough
to
establish
an Imperishable Legacy for
your children.
For
land
is the Safest and Surest
investment on
earth.
