Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 September 1911 — Selling Farms at Auction. [ARTICLE]

Selling Farms at Auction.

There is a fast growing tendency to sell real estate, especially farms, at public auction, and in some sections nearly all the farms changing hands are thus disposed of. The plan is new in Jasper county, but promises to become 'popular here also. The Democrat is now carrying advertisements of two farms that will be disposed of in this county. One is the former B. O. Gardner -farm east of Rensselaer, on the Pleasant Ridge gravel road; as nicely a located farm as anyone could possibly wish for and of a desirable size, 142J4 acres. This farm will be sold next Monday, at 1 n. m., and the sale should bring out many would-be buyers. The other farm is located in section ?2, Gillam tp., and contains 160 acres. It is all nice level land and a good stock and grain farm. This farm will be sold on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 2 p. m.
