The Troppman & Co., store are in
trorucing a novel and unique adver-
Using feature, having announced a
Dutch auction for Monday afternoon
A Dutch auction is different from the
regular auction sales in as much as
it will not permit the bidding on
merchandise. Wherever these
auctions have been introduced they
were a cided success. The Trop-
pman building is undergoing extern
s1ve improvements, the floor is to be
lowered to the street level. Mr..
Troppman is anxious to have these
goods off from the floor before the
cntractrs are ready to commence
this portion of the work. This is
the reason for this Dutch auction
sale. xxx
