The Home-Seeker's Greatest Opportunity, Florida Land
Jacksonville, FL: Colonization Dept, Sutherland, McConnel & Co., 1911.
Near fine. Broadside, 18 x 24 inches. Printed in black on white paper in two columns with wide architectural border (on which text urges you to "Put your money on the pillars of success"). Near fine, with old creases from folding. Corner mounted and shrinkwrapped on foam core. Promotes the "grand opening" of a 27,000 acre tract of land in Duvall County, Florida with a sales pitch that includes not only the usual praise for the productivity of the soil and the healthful climate, but also the safety of the investment in an region known for questionable and outright fraudulent land deals. "Florida has passed through the days of wild speculation," it proclaims, assuring the potential buyer "a good, sound, title and deed" and offering special excursion rates for the Midwestern investor to travel to Florida and inspect the land in person. One copy located in OCLC.
