The American Realty & Auction
Co., of Greensboro, a Credit
to the State and the South.

The American Realty & Auc-
ton Co., of Greensboro, has con-
Quoted some very successful real
estate sales in Robson county,
and the following write-up of the
company by the North Carolina
correspondent Of The CONNER
clal and Financial World will be
found of interest:
The great secret of the in
tense interest displayed by fl
nanciers and the shreWdest CAPT.
tallsts in the country in the
Southland, is the fact that they
realize it is not only the com
ing center of activity in the
country, but that in many sec
tons and many pursuits it has
already arrived.
1t is an interesting fact that
Greensboro can boast of being
the headquarters Of what is prob
ably the best equipped and most
successful auctioneering company
IN the country. Although their
work is largely in the South, the
name OF the American Realty &
Auction Company is we'll known
to the North. They are repre-
sented in that field and their
reputation is rapidly gaining
ground throughout that entire
section. The firm are real estate
brokers and everything is sold
exclusively at auction.
The American Realty & Auc-
ton Company, by virtue of their
varied experience, equipment and
knowledge are more thoroughly
prepared to turn real estate into
cash than any other company
IN America. Some idea of the
extent of their operations can be
CLEANED from the fact that in the
year 1907 they sold over $1,000
0OO worth of real estate in North
CAROLINA alone. For the year
ending October LIST, 1908, in
this State alone they handled
better than 81, 500, 900 of
real estate. This years bust
ness in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and
New York averaged at least
twenty large auction sales a
month. Sales are now booked
as far ahead as the 10th of Jan
uary. An incident worth noting
is that on July 18th last, at
Rockingham, N. c., this firm
conducted sales that amounted
to over $4,000; 127 lots were
sold in $50 minutes, including
the time consumed in going from
one section to another, averag-
ing better than a lot a minute.
The Northern office of the
company is located at Saranac
Lake, New York, and numberless
sales have been con-
Quoted from this office, includ-
ing Saranac Lake, Bloomingdale
and Plattsburg.
