Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1908 — Banner Sale of Season. [ARTICLE]

Banner Sale of Season.

John A. Randle’s sale, at his farm near Pleasant Grove, Wednes(lav, was undoubtedly the best sale held this season and the prices were even right around last year’s high water mark. Michael Kanne bought John’s driving mare at the very good price of $220, one draft mare brought $202.50 and a three year old black mare brought S2OO, and other brought $l5O and more. Yearling cattle brought $31.75 and spring calves went for S2O. The sale totaled only a little less than $3,900, and of this amount $1,770 was paid in cash. Every farm that is vacated will be occupied by some other farmer who will need practically the same stock and equipment and there has been spirited bidding at all sales, find good prices have kept up.
