This sequence comes around the middle of the film after we see the boom cycle of the wheat farms that benefitted from the wartime production. The film shows us how, after the Great War, there were many schemes to sell people farms with financing (credit) offers. There is a montage of advertisements pitching prospective buyers on these properties.
In this shot list below, the music changes adds higher pitched horns that signal trouble ahead. Also, the duration of each shot shortens, quickening the pace of the cuts.
