TWO WOMEN MAKE
GooD
Are Working a Farm and a
Summer Home Without a
Man About Them

Mrs. Lanfear and Miss
French, the owners of Hill
Farm and Rest Home,
arrived at Terrace in 1915
and were impressed by the
singular beauty of the

naturai surroundings. They -

were particularly attracted
to the iand on the bench and
saw great possibilities for
that particular section. The
years since have proved this
to be correct. Their location
commands a fine and ex-
tensive view of the valley
and is also remarkably
sheltered from the winds.
The air is bracing and they
have a good supply of good
water.

The land is specially
suited for poultry, potatoes,
ete. The soil readily
responds to treatment, as is
prover by the fact that fruit,

owers and vegetables have
taken many prizes at Prince
Rupert and other fairs.
Previous writers have
spoken. of Terrace as an
apple growing district. To
this should be added
cherries, plums and: pears.
The two
