Two columns of information at bottom center of map begin with the words, “Florida has passed through the days of wild land speculation”. This item is apparently an advertisement from the “Colonization Department” of the Sutherland & McConnel Company in Jacksonville which “owns or controls more than 100,000 acres of land. Instead of selling its holdings to northern or eastern land speculators, it determined to dispose of its holdings directly to actual colonists.” The advertisement mentions “Good Schools. Fine Churches. Virgin Soil. Pure Water.”
