How to Make q SUCCESSFUL Sale.-Speak-
ing of recent personal property sale in How
ard county that amounted to over $1,000, the
ElIicott City Times says: 1.-THE results of this
sale show the wisdom of good advertising. Mr..
Ramsburg instructed the Times to spend as
much as $50 in securing him a crowd. Not
over $40 was spent. AS the sale was over
$1,000, not per cent. of the proceeds went for
advertising. yet nearly everyone in Howard,
Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick and Montgomery
counties and many persons in Baltimore knew
of the sale. 1t is really foolish to have lot
of good things to sell without properly adver-
Using them. You cannot get prices unless you
have enough people to make strong competi-
tive bids. People from distance come to a
sale to buy and seldom go away without doing
so. while the most of the around home folks
are lockers on and by unjust criticism and
voluntary advice do more harm than good"
