South central Minnesota | Actually Lewis was a wheat broker in Minneapolis, a very successful one for a while

With the decline of milling in Minneapolis and then the crash of 29 we have little to go on of what happened to mr Lewis.
It's also interesting at a time of the development of the wheat pools and subsequent development of Cooperatives why any one farmer would be speculating in wheat. | |
