It offers you an opportunity to invest part of your idle savings where they will be SAFE and where they will earn you the GREATEST RETURNS. An opportunity to INSURE YOURSELF AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF POVERTY AND WANT FOR ALL TIME TO COME.

In addition to all of the above a Homestead Orchard Estate is one OF THE BEST FORMS OF INSURANCE there is because YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU DIE in order to get the benefits of it. You get the benefits WHILE YOU LIVE, AND THE BEST PART OF IT IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A BIT OF WORK NOR SPEND A BIT OF TIME IN TAKING CARE OF IT, because WE do that for you. YOU own the land and the orchard and WE do all the work.

Transcription Notes:
The "teaser" image appears to have been printed upside down (on purpose?) as the trees in the orchard, the money-bags and the cornucopia spill of fruit are all wrong side up.
