Buy land. Poor land for farming in those days is selling for top dollar now. My family was poor in those days and had to buy low land that did not grow many crops well. Now this same land in in high demand. Real estate brokers call it water front property and one farm, which was bought for $4,500 in 1913, just sold for a little over $9,000,000.00. Pity is that is is on the other side of the family. Oh well.
