You may ask ''where is he"?
but there are such.
It was not until the land man

If the land buyers and home

doubting Thomases satisfy them-
selves by personal investigation
and learn a<;f,ual conditions from
the established occupants of the
country, who can speak fcom ex-
perience and have no 'axe to
grind" or reason to deceive, they
will obtain reliable information
and can thus intelligently make
selectiOns^and get the most for
their investment, and so protect
themselves from die speculation
and in many cases exorbitant
^margins of the land agents. The
agent is certainly entitled to a
