WHAT IF WE TOLD YOU THERE EXISTED A PLACE
IN MONTANA, A PLACE WHERE THE MYTH
OF THE OLD WEST WAS MADE REAL,
WHERE MILLIONS OF ORDINARY FOLKS AROUND
THE WORLD WANTED TO GO?
A PLACE AS MAGICAL AS WILLY WONKA'S
CHOCOLATE FACTORY, WHERE ALL YOUR
COWBOY FANTASIES CAN COME TRUE?
WHAT IF WE TOLD YOU NO AMOUNT OF MONEY
COULD BUY YOUR WAY IN, ONLY YOUR LOYALTY?
FOR MANY WHO DREAMED OF COMING
TO MONTANA, NESTLED IN THE FOOTHILLS
OF THE CRAZY MOUNTAINS,
MARLBORO RANCH WAS THAT PLACE.
AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO TO GET THERE WAS
TO SMOKE A LIFETIME'S WORTH OF CIGARETTES.
