A Second Crop of Clover
| The front (top) and back (bottom) of an advertisement for farm land in northern Wisconsin. This card advertises the abundance of clover crop with an image of farmers harvesting large amounts of clover. The caption below the image reads: "A second crop of Clover, Taylor County." The reverse side reads: "Why dose a farmer usually succeed? - Simply because he works for himself and in not obliged to share the profits of his labor with an employer. In him is combined both capital and labor, and there is never any trouble between them. Don't you want a piece of hardwood land right in your own state, adjoining good improved farms, and within your means to buy? If you desire to consider this question, write for free illustrated pamphlets, to Frederick Abbot, Land Commissioner, W. C. R. R. Milwaukee, Wis. |
