My wife’s grandfather lived in a little house beside a country road, where he spent his last years playing checkers and selling the vegetables he had grown in his garden. When family visited, they were puzzled by his habit of listening to the stock market reports on the radio. Well, as you can probably guess, after his estate was finally settled among his many relatives, my wife’s share of his stocks was well into six figures.

Whenever in time this is placed, I’m sure a car dealership would bring in a reasonable amount of money when sold?

Sounds like the farmers in the town where I grew up. The richest people around. Suspect it’s not that way any more.

Ah yes. The time honored art of diversification. Those farm subsidies and FEMA checks have to go to something worthwhile.

Or, the Coca Cola stocks that Great Granddad bought in 1912 when he let them paint their Advertising on the side of the barn that faced the highway.
They are probably still up in the attic. Somewhere.
