Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1908 — A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL. [ARTICLE]

A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.

E. V. Ransford and C. P. Wright returned Monday morning from Forest, Ind., where the former has traded for a big stock of general merchandise which he is closing out there. He traded his finely improved 400 acre farm near Queensville, Jennings county, for this stock, receiving in cash about $15,500 in addition to the stock of goods. Mr. Ransford also traded off a 122 acre farm which he owned in Jennings county, receiving about SSO per acre, half cash and half trade. Both deals were made last week and were made by C. P. Wright A Son’s, real estate agency. Zern Wright is now down at Forest looking after the management of the store which Mr. Ransford got in one of the deals. Messrs. Wright & Son have negotiated a number of good sized deals for Mr. Ransford in the past year or two, and it seems all the parties are well satisfied and all are making money out of the deals.
