Lake Shore Farm - handbill for sale of a farm near Alexandria

Falling farm prices and severe drought forced many rural families to sell their farms and move into town. This handbill, dated December 18, 1933, lists a farm for sale near Alexandria, Minnesota. The asking price of $34 per acre suggests both the drop in land values and the owner's need to sell.
