When You Want To Advertise An AuC.
tiOn Sale
PAPER REACHES THE PEOPLE
Records Circulation Changes NelghbsrhOOd
Affairs Into Countrywide Business

The auction season is again opening
up and it promises to be good live
ly season.
The foremost consideration with
the man who holds an auction sale is
to get fair price for his property;
the best price he can obtain for it,
when the buyers know its value and
desire to come into it's ownership.
AS between the auction bill and the
auction sale advertisement in The Re-
cord, the former has had its day, and
is as out of date as the stage coach.
But why The Record as the medium
for advertising auction sales?
The Record plan for advertising
auction sales is demonstrated sue
cess, for in the past five years we have
advertised hundreds of sales.
People have come to expect to see
an auction sale advertised in the
Record; it is the recognized auction
sale advertising medium for this sec
ton.
The Record puts the man having
the sale in touch with the man who
wants the goods or live stock adver-
tised because he has use for it, and
he goes to the sale because he is in
terested as buyer, and not because
he expects to pick up something at
ridiculously low figure. The Record
plan makes the auction sale a county
matter, not a mere neighborhood
matter.
1t costs but a trifle more to get an
advertisement in The Record giving
full details of the property offered at
the sale than to get out the bills in
the old way. And in every case, so
far as we have learned the results
have been unvarying satisfactory, ex-
cept where winter storms interfered,
and yielded the owner more than he
expected in some instances by hum
dreds of dollars more. Often the
price realized on single article
above what the owner had expected
to get, paid all the expenses of the
sale.
We make dates for the auctioneers
and this office has become the recog-
nized headquarters for auction sale
advertising and information.
The Record containing the infor-
nation or advertisement is laid away
for reference by the person who
reads the auction sale notice, so that
it can be readily referred to. This
is quite different from the bill which
is tackled on trees or fences, and
which cannot be esaily read and the
information it gives can be easily for
gotten.
