Do You Think
The World Owes
You a Living?
Of course you do! But the world isn’t running
a delivery service to lay it at your door. It’s the
man with enterprise and perserveranee, the man
with foresight and perception, who collects his due
—who makes the world render unto him that
which is his.
Opportunity is sought by all, when it is recog
nized at its true value, but most often the really
great opportunities are overlooked and the world
wags on by those who overlook it.
Brandywine is the opportunity of today.
Brandywine will pay you the living which the
world owes you if you will but grasp the opportun
ity and make an investment in Brandywine before
it is too late.
TWENTY ACRE FARM IN BRANDYWINE,:,
r 1
t~ If a man will work one-half as hard on a ten acre
farm in Brandywine as he does as an employe in an of
fice, factory or store, he can make twice as much.
He can truly gain financial independence; the goal
of every ambitious man—secure a home where health,
happiness and freedom are as sure as his income.
The high cost of food, and the miscellaneous ex
penses of congested city life lap up every cent the aver
age man can possibly make wholely without enjoyment.
You have seen but little of the outdoor life which all
normal humans crave.
If you only gained a living from a farm in Brandy
wine, you would be better off, for you have had a full
measure of health and happiness.
But, on ten acres, say, in Brandywine you can do
" more than that, for with brain and brawn you can garner
that living which the world owes to every one striving
for it.
There are any number of things which can be made
to produce from $3500 to $6000 per annum on ten acres in
Brandywine, with the proper care, cultivation and at
tention.
Pecans, which take several years to bear fully, will
most certainly do it. There are people today planting
ten and twenty acre tracts in pecans who know when the
trees come into full bearing ten years from now, for
that is the period required for their highest bearing,
their future is assured with a rich competence.
Grapes grow especially well in Brandywine; it being
the natural home of the Scuppernong and Muscadine.
The California varieties grow as large and with better
flavor than in the west. Ten acres in grapes in Brandy
wine, planted at reasonable cost, with truck and row
crops actively cultivated While the grapes are maturing,
are simply sure to produce close to $5000 each year after
they come into full bearing with proper care.
The same may be said of peaches, apples and pears,
of strawberries and both canteloupes and watermelons,
while all of the cereals, both Irish and sweet potatoes,
•otton and cattle feeding crops grow in Brandywine
equally well, though the returns are not so large as from
the most profitable named.
This is vouched for by some of the leading horticult
ural and agricultural experts of the state.
“Brandywine is exceptionally well adapted to the
cultivation of fine fruits and vegetables, pecans and
melons.”
To those brave spirits seeking relief from the many
disadvantages of the city, to the wage earner, the sal
aried man, the operator and the employe, Brandywine
is the mecca we have planned.
Now is the time for you to take advantage of the
offer. With its development accomplished the large
profits possible to be made by those who early invest will
be beyond reach.
Brandywine is only 24 miles from the heart of Bir
mingham, traversed by the A., B. & A. railway.
When the new Jefferson county automobile pike is
completed only a few moments will be required to go
back and forth.
The city of Brandywine will become a reality. A
bank, a modern hotel, school buildings, store buildings,
a handsome railroad depot, a town hall, bungalows and
residences will be constructed by the American Finance
and Bond Co. to make Brandywine a model community.
Statistics show that the Magic City pays out over
$1,400,000 annually to other states for farm products for
the table.
Every cent of this vast total could be earned by the
t^uck gardens, grape vineyards, fruit orchards, poultry
yards and other food crops of Brandywine.
Brandywine’s opportunity for investment is ex
tended to you that those with the foresight and the enter
prise to realize in the full the vest possibilities demon
strated may actually find their ambition easy of accom
plishment-right within the grasp of those who will

terest.

en possibilities almost within your hand; let your money

Pecans’ Golden
Profits
Not only may grapes, fruits of
various kinds, vegetables and. all
food crops be grown with unusual
success in Brandywine, but it is
exceptionally well adapted to. pe
can growing.
In Georgia and in Texas for
tunes have been made in the last
fifteen years on pecan groves and
this will be the case in Brandy
wine, as rich annual returns will
be produced by acreage planted in
pecans, nature’s hardiest off
spring, after the trees .come into
bearing.
Sensible calculation, based on
the special bulletins of the state
agricultural department, shows
10 acres planted in pecans in
Brandywine will net from $4000
to $0000 per annum after the
tenth year, when pecan trees..be
gin hearing fully.
However, some returns will be
secured the third and fourth
years, and on to the tenth year,
with a steady increase each year.
At the same time, while the young
pecan trees are growing, truck
gardening ari<jl berry growing
may be undertaken in order to se
cure immediate returns.
It is hard to believe, l/it, if you
purchase an interest in Brandy
wine, these facts will benefit you
as well as any other person, as
pecans may be planted with small
expense and only reasonable care
is required in cultivation.
Ten acres planted in young
trees may be made immediately
productive by trucking or garden
ing, and after the third year, as
the nuts mature, the proceeds
from their sale may be net profit.
It is wholly true that after the
ten years required to attain full
growth a grove of pecans will net
the richest returns known to
horticulturists.
