Dear Sir:
thought it might be of interest to
part of the state to know that am
part of the state to know that I was
engaged in taking some special In
struction in Noland's School Of Auc-
pioneering in Des Moines. / feel fully
repaid for my efforts in coming here,
and while 1t seemed that could not
find time to leave, yet ! am very glad
i came, as the pointers have re-
ceived on practical work will
enable me to carry on my Auctioneer-
ing business much better than / have
been able to heretofore.
One of the principal things Mr.. Mol
and teaches is how to sell Real Estate
at Auction. This may sound rather
strange to you-it did to me at first
but since see the way Mr.. holland
goes at it, | am not surprised that 1t
sells well, and really believe that this
ling Real Estate. 1t gives all the buy
ers chance, and always makes the
land bring more than 1t would other
wise. as it gives the buyers and oppor-
tunity to bid on it.
will return home in few days now,
to take up my work with new vigor
and determination, and will expect to
have some of the most successful sales
that were ever held in that part Of the
state.
Mr.. holland himself is one Of the
best known Auctioneers in the middle
West and has sold Real Estate at Auc-
ton in dozen different states. He
has several farms advertised to be sold
at Auction during the next thirty days,
Mr.. Noland's experience is such that
he understands the Auction business
In all its phases.
Y ! have learned as much as possible
about his methods and ways Of hand
ling business, and intend in the future
to devote certain amount Of my
time to selling land by auction.
Altogether feel well repaid for my
visit to Des Moines, which has been
very profitable vacation and rest for
me.
Yours very truly.
