Remember the 80s trend that came after that? Century 21 Real estate solicited women agents, slapped them in gold jackets and they made more than their husbands under the housing boom

I know that story. well meaning social organizations (women) rounded up homeless kids of NYC (mostly nyc) and shipped them west to 'find homes with farm families'. A lot of them worked as newsboys and since they made their own way they were reluctant to go and had to be captured, tracked down by the social crowd and helped by police.

tbh, many were in squalor, their fathers had died during the civil war–that's what left these kids fatherless. Orphans happened later during the spanish flu, but the program to ship them out west still was going on.

these kids were work for the farms. or worse.

Who profited?

Bet the robber barons did, bet they donated to the organizations doing the transporting. I have some books on the general story, but it will take a library microfilm dig to know for sure. Just call it the robber barons, the rockefeller-morgans. They were buying up the midwest for the trains.
