viii only attend such sales as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for the highest figure bid, no matter how
low that may be. My friend simply trades

women attend these sales, and are really
DESTROYS Of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity OF trying to out
bid some other would-be purchaser
They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance Oh the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can of the
best bargains offered, and then disposes of
them al small advance upon his outlay
TO one or other Of the disappointed bidders.
