About This Item
Lincoln, Nb, 1890. Very good.. Large broadsheet, 28 x 9 inches. Printed in red on recto, blue on verso. Old folds, minor wear. Large broadsheet advertising immigration to Kansas. The agent, W.J. Ratcliff of Atwood, Kansas, encourages the reader to "Write today, describing as nearly as possible what you want and where you prefer it. You will hear from me and I will convince you that I have some exceptional bargains in Kansas realty." Specifically, the bargains are to be had in Rawlins County, located in the northwest corner of the state on the Nebraska border. The broadsheet lists all the reasons Rawlins is the absolute best, summarizing: "The Best Watered, Best Timbered, Best Improved, and Most Productive County in the West." A handsome production. We locate two copies in OCLC, at Yale and SMU.
