Large Lf ?id Holder Mr. Butler?'- ?rn is among the men to be four ere and there over the county wh- few years ago evi denced keen fe ght and splendid business acum<. ;y investing large ly in farm lau'l bile th? price was very low. Mr. Strom purchased three or four farms in the l&ehoboth -Plum Branch section, varying in size'from 100 to'300 acres, at from about two to five dollars per acre. He at once began to improve these farms and settle tenants upon them and they not only practically paid for themselves with the rents but this land is now ? probably fourfold more valuable than it was the day Mr. Strom made the purchases. The writer passed two of Mr. Strom's farms last Thursd?y^and saw with his own eyes the fine crops that are being grown. 1 Appreciation Expressed. Dear Advertiser: Please state in your good paper, that I am truly grateful to all of the good patrons taking Prudential Life Insurance with me, helping to win the free trip to the Agent's meeting early in September, at Thousand Islands, on the St. Law rance River, and an extra trip ^>ver to Toronto, Canada, across Lake On tario. I expect to take Harold, my son, with me, an?V we will certainly enjoy life up therefor two weeks. The splendid Prudential with its Low Rates, Special Benefits and Privileges, its Simple, Strom and Attractive Policy, has enabled me to write over $50,000.00 life in surance so far this year. I have signed a pledge to write in all this year $100,000.00 for the Prudential. The Prudential has the Strength of | Gibraltar, and altogether it is a pleas ure to do business with them. A man at age 30 with a wife age 26 can get a Life Policy for $1,000.00 on both lives, for.$29.77 per year. When either of them dies the $1000 is paid to the other, surviving. Oth er ages at proportionate rates. Com pare before taking any insurance. With great appreciation. Yours faithfully, E. J. NORRIS.
