Who am I?

I Am the Basis of All Wealth, the heritage of the wise, the thrifty and prudent.

I am the poor person’s joy and comfort, the rich person’s prize, the right hand of capital, the silent partner of thou¬sands of successful people.

I am the comfort of old age, the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want. I am handed down to children through generations, as a thing of great worth

I am the choicest fruit of toil, yet I am humble. Credit respects me, I stand before every man bidding him to know me for what I am, and possess me..

I am quietly growing in value through countless days. Though, I might seem dormant, my worth increases, never failing, never ceasing. Time is my aid and the population heaps up my gain. Fire and the ele¬ments I defy, for they cannot destroy me.

My possessors learn to believe in me and invariable they become envied. While all other things wither and decay, I survive. The centuries find me younger, always increasing in strength.

I am the foundation of Banks, the producer of food and the basis of all wealth throughout the world.

Yet, I am so common that thousands, unthinking and unknowing, pass me by.

I am Land!
