Lovely little promotional work advertising lands along the Burlington Route in Nebraska and Iowa.

The present work is comprised primarily of price charts for lands in Iowa and Nebraska, with interest rates and terms on different acreages.

A map of the route is printed on the rear cover. An ephemeral little piece -- not located in OCLC.
