Locals check out household goods for sale at an auction on a sunny summer day in Fairbanks, Alaska, circa 1950. The woman in the black hat and coat is Hulda Ford (1873-1957), who came to the North as a "dance hall girl" during the gold rush days of the early 1900s. She later became a property owner in Fairbanks. At the time of her death, she was one of Alaska’s richest women (B&W/Silent/8mm film).
