Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-04-28


will take three days to dispose of
the horses if the weather is good.
The auetioneers are J. 7. Johnson,
of Mexico, and Volney Harrison, of
McCredie. Clark & Potts have paid
Il great deal of attention to their
combination sales and they are the
only ones that we know of any
where in the west that are managed
l such a way as TO be a success.
There are a large number of buyers
present from different states and
thousands of dollars will be left
here. These sales give to Mexico
and Audrain county a national rep
utation as a horse centre. All of
our people are interested in the per-
manent success OF these enterprises.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that a few-but we are glad to
know a very few-endeavor to take
advantage of the buyers brought
here by Clark Il Potts, and the adver-
Using done by these gentlemen, and
at the same time are not willing to
help defray the expenses; that is,
they bring their saddle stock to
Mexico to sell and do not enter it in
the sale. In this way they save a
few dollars and sap the life blood
of the enterprise. ave do not think
in the future there will be any neces-
sity to call attention to this matter.
