Promotional brochure for South Dakota and the area around Aberdeen, the state's third most populous city. The "Big Five" Counties comprise Brown, Campbell, Edmunds, McPherson, and Walworth, sitting along the northeast part of the state, along the border with North Dakota. The work briefly touts the crop yields and fabulous soil quality, as well as stating that "Those seeking homes in this district will not be subject to pioneering," that hard work having already been accomplished in the district. The final panel is a map of the Upper Midwest showing the Chicago & Northwestern Railway lines, all of which lead to Aberdeen. We locate a single copy in OCLC, at Yale.
