Brown as an Advertiser Spotlight in North Dakota
A retired real estate promoter in North Dakota, William H. Brown, rose from a South Dakota clerk to a major land marketer. From a $50 monthly hire by Congressman Burke to promote 100,000 acres at Ramsey county, Brown built a vast advertising operation, expanded offices, and sold large tracts near Mandan. He amassed tens of thousands in profits, relocated headquarters, and now runs a large staff of land traders, teamsters, and stenographers under a foreman who is a noted Indian land broker.
