Teaching Materials
|
Many people bought land. The land sold for the highest price ever recorded in the United States at that time. The town site was divided into lots. Then the bidding took place. |
 |
People had to put $25.00 down to be able
to bid for a lot. What if your bid won? Then you had 30 minutes
to pay the rest of the money for the lot. If you did not pay
off the balance that you owed, then you lost your $25.00.
