The prices at which jeWelry and
other vaIuables sold the past week in
sure great bargains in these watches
which Auctioneer Raven has instruc-
tions to let go to the highest bidder

Interest in these auction sales grew
as the week progressed until towards

ing being held back from the, choice
stock of diamonds, ct cetera. The rep

grade of the articles offered are the
magnets which draw the crowds
The sale is attracting the represen
tative people of Americus each after
noon and evening, for proof of which
statement it is only necessary to q
down and take look at the buyers
at the matinee or at night
Included in the offerings are dia
monds, watches, cut glass, Pickard'
famous hand-painted china, beautiful
gilt mantel clocks, Gorham silver
which is known to everybody,-all ar,
being sold at prices below the cos
of production. If you are looking TO
diamonds, either for your own use o
for investment, the safest place to buy
and the cheapest, is at F'ricker's sale
| It only lasts few days more. Jus
| follow the crowd and get what yo1
want at your own price.
At each sale tickets are given ava
