;U’o breeders of Registered Hereford
cuttle, and own smile of the best
lyP• s of this Dreed of cattle to be
found anywhere. They have been
seeking ;t suitable ranch located at
an eligible shipping point so tliat
they could bo in touch with a larg-
er soctii n of Texas and Oklahoma.
In seeking this location thoywere
shown the 1^50 acre tract owned by
Cage A Crow of Stephenville, know)
as the \V> ley ranch, located about
eight miles southeast of town.
This tract is mostly high, rolling
prairie, well so: with grass, with
an abundance of water on streams
which pass through it. and is well
improved, and these gentlemen at
once sized it up as an ideal ranch
proposition, and il did not take
them ten minute's to dose a deal,
the price for the tract being $-5,000
rile deal was made Monday, Sept.
24, and the abstract of title sub-
mitted to their attorneys for ex-
amination. Possession will be giv-
en immediately, as there will be
no question about title.
The entry of these gentlemen in-
to the live stock industry of Erath
county means much to this sec-
I .ion, as they handle and breed
nothing but the very best,
nothing but the very best of Here-
{fords.

Diversified Farming and Good Markets
This county probably has the most varied farming interest of any county in Texas, with a good, market for everything produced on the farm
all the year around. Corn, Cotton, Wheat, Oats, Peanuts, Potatoes, Apples and other fruits are produced iu large quantities.
Thousands of acres are also being used for the raising of Cattle, Horses, Mules, Hogs, Sheep and Goats. Dairying has proven a very pros-
perous industry, Stephenville, the County Seat, being the largest Creaiii Shipping Station in Texas. Poultry raising, which is in its infancy
commercially,has come to mean a revenue of several thousand dollars per month to Erath county farmers.
If you are interested in any of the property listed herewith, near a first class State Free School, we invite inquiries.
