The Company was incorporated in 1867 as the Land Improvement and Irrigation Company. "The Company owns very valuable central real estate in the City of Chicago, Illinois, part of which is improved and producing income, and part is unimproved; also, owns large tracts of land in the city, and adjacent to the city within Cook County. All of these lands are fairly and satisfactorily appreciating in value with the rapid growth of the city in commerce and population."
Its offices were on Dearborn Street. Charles A. Gregory was President, and Franklin H. Watriss Secretary. The incorporators were Erastus Bailey, John C. Haines, James H. Kinyon, Francis B. Tobey, and R.K. Swift. The pamphlet is scarce.
