A Basketful of Opportunities...


 1890s Washington State Agriculture & Business Opportunities Folding Trade Card.

The Northern Pacific Railway Co. owned huge land grants in the Idaho-Oregon-Washington region, and marketed them avidly in the last part of the 19th century. This 1890s folding trade card promises “Something you can depend on- Opportunities are waiting in Washington to be plucked by the fruit grower, farmer, dairyman, canner, lumberman, logger, fisherman and miner”.

Folding card. 3.5”x5.5”. Some soil, minor wear.  $75
