Evidently there was a lot of talk around Pierz in 1919 about relative land prices around the country compared to Morrison Co. Wasn't the soil here just as fertile as soil in Iowa, the Dakotas or Wisconsin? Then how come we were selling it for so little per acre?
Grandpa Janson decided to check the latest Big Deal state, Texas. He says "we"--perhaps his brother Eugene went along, we don't know. It was a big enough deal that he got front page space two weeks in a row in the PJ.
It's kinda fun to speculate about how things might have been different if Grandpa had LOVED Texas, huh? Wow.
