Farmer recalling town decline from mail order growth
A veteran farmer recounts starting with $50 and 80 acres, relying on credit from local merchants, then buying more land as mail order catalogs eroded town business. He laments loss of schools, library, band, and the town’s collapse, urging farmers to support and rebuild country towns while warning of mail-order nuisance and urban pull. He cites William J. Bryan and a surge in equal suffrage support as a broader political note.
