Fields of Rye
| A promotional card displaying a man in overalls standing by his large rye crops, near the road. The caption reads, "This view made from a photograph taken in the latter part of July 1897, should satisfy every fair minded person as to the crop producing quality of the soil of Price County, Wis. Here is a field of rye growing far above the tops of the fences. This is not unusual and other grains do equally well. This field is located about 4 1/2 miles east of Phillips." |

| Part of the promotional materials created by the Wisconsin Central Railroad Company Land Commissioner to publicize the sale of land in northern Wisconsin, primarily in Price, Taylor, and Ashland counties, owned by the railroad, circa 1895. One side of the card has illustrations of farming conditions, crops, forest resources, homesteads, small towns, and rural scenes in northern Wisconsin. A number of the illustrations are from photographs made by Harvey J. Perkins for "Northern Wisconsin: a hand-book for the homeseeker" and "Hand book of Price County." The reverse side of the card has text touting the abundance of resources available in northern Wisconsin, some of which was taken from "Northern Wisconsin: a hand-book for the homeseeker," edited by William A. Henry. |
