Libe Farm Valued by Tile Costs and Country Living
Record notes from Earle Libe show a farm tile purchase at 130 dollars per carload with three and a half inch diameter tile, contrasted with higher prices for modern runs. He argues country ownership suits his business needs and proximity to Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, saying a town home offers no better value.
