One is an order form for a promotional catalog entitled "Will Florida Land Earn Money." The other coupon reserves "a berth for me in your Special Sleeping Cars for the LandSeeker's Excursion on the First or Third Tuesday in February March or April 1911." <br> <br> Rare with only one copy listed in OCLC at the University of Florida.
