FARMERS, AUCTION.


want to talk with you a little of
what propose to do and see what you
think about y. To begin with. I have
secured what is known as the Blair &
Neil feed stable and lots located to the
right hand of the street car line going
south over the Market street bridge. I
Will use 1t mainl" as a feeding stable,
for fitting horses for market. but will
also stable country horses. Well, You
say, what do care for all that? Wait
minute. that's onlv the prelude, the
introduction to what am wanting
your advice on. | am figuring on
holding a sort of a farmers auction
matter about the weather, as we have
plenty of room over there to sell under
shelter figure on selling anything
and everything farmer has to sell.
Stock of all sorts, a wagon, a buggy,
set of harness, plows, anything, every
tEing you may wish to sell or another
wants to buy. My idea is to sell as at
a county sale, all sums above So on
time by giving banlable note. I have
the lots there, so we can offer cattle.
sheep or hogs, in any number. Over
the county there are men who have
few articles or animals they would like
to sell. and yet not enough to justify
them in making a public sale. Over
this and the surrounding counties are
men who want exactly what you have
for sale, but they don't know where
you're at" They'll meet you here at
the Saturday afternoon sales.
Now don't misunderstood me. This
has no bearing whatever on the regu-
lar auction sale of market horses, on
the North Side. They will be contin-
ued just as before, only they will grow
bigger and bigger, as the months go
by Last spring ! stated that the OF
| tumwa Horse Sales must be made the
best in the state. They are that to-
day, and growing all the time.
| No, my South Side Saturday after
noon sales are entirely a separate deal.
Don't bring any market horses to
them, as l won't have any shippers
there to buy them. But I'll tell you
what you can do. You can stable
your market horses at my barn there,
4 and I'll try to buy them. When you
come to, our next regular horse sale
on Nov. 10, tell me what you think OF
my plan.
