A noisy catalog of classifieds from a historic page lists missing wives, job requests, and a mix of land for sale. It shows bids on livestock, cheap chicken ranches, and mineral reserves, reflecting a mid 20th century market of personal wants and property trading. The jumble names places like Brattle and Kirkland and hints at military reservations and Indian matters.
A flood of antiquated classified lines advertises land for sale in Montana and nearby areas. Listings quote prices from 28 to 500 per acre, including two and six acre lots, fruit trees, cleared parcels, and potential for platting. Units sold include lake shore and hillside plots with various amenities.
An ad touts affordable land in Napavine with promises of future value as farms, shops, factories, and mines nearby. It urges quick purchase with plans to pay off a lot over time and hints at a limited window to act on the opportunity.
Advertisements describe an apartment house on Hammit Avenue with rents and services, plus government homestead prospects in West Oregon. Also listed are 1040 acres in Union County Oregon with timber, water, springs, improved acreage, orchard, and timber tracts. J G Lanne invites inquiries at 12 Fulton Street Washington station.
