Several posters are affixed to the pole, including an old advertisement for a public sale dated Thursday, October 21, 1937, describing livestock, farm implements, furniture, and 60 acres of farmland being sold. The name “A.W. Schatz, Owner” appears on the sale notice. Surrounding the pole are leaves from a vine growing up it, adding a natural element to the rustic environment. In the background, there is an open field extending into the distance, emphasizing the rural setting. Additionally, part of a weather-worn sign advertising “Ward’s Soft Bun Bread” is visible near the bottom right of the pole. The image conveys a historical and pastoral atmosphere.

The newspaper clipping is partially torn and appears to be an advertisement for a public sale. The top of the clipping reads "Public Sale" in large letters, followed by the date "Thurs.

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a post with several signs attached to it. The post is situated in a rural area, likely a farm or agricultural field, as indicated by the surrounding landscape. The post is wooden and appears to be weathered, suggesting it has been in place for some time.

The signs on the post are of different sizes and contain various types of information. The largest sign at the top of the post reads "Public Sale" and provides details about an auction, including the date "Thurs. Oct. 21, 1937," and the items to be sold, such as "11 Head of Cattle," "Corn and Hay," "Farm Implements," and "Furniture." The sign also mentions the owner, "A. W.
