I am a sucker for broadsides printed on materials other than paper. This linen broadside is chock full of information: "THIS property consists of 560 acres, more or less, of the finest fruit and grain land in Sutter County, the flower of the Sacramento Valley, nearly 300 acres of summer-follow now plowed and ready for the season, together with a large practically new two-story house lately erected at a cost of $6,000. Magnificent roomy barns, one having a capacity for 80 tons of loose hay, and all other necessary out-buildings. The entire property is well fenced...this sale will present an exceptional opportunity to bid on one of the finest farms in the Sacramento Valley...a good lunch will be served." Item #2174
