Did | ever tell you how u frowsy old
rube-a regular haYseed-once stung
me-? asked an auctioneer who for
merls worked III fake auction on
Broadway.
Il first saw the rube enc afternoon
when we had Il pretty good crowd in
the place, and | was selling off cheap
watches. | could see at glance that
he WAS a farmer from way back in the
woods.
THE old hayseed, after looking on
for while, finally bit and made a bid
Iof S4.50 on watch. one of our regu-
lar paid 'cappers' was beside the fell
low from the country, and he kept
raising the farmers bids until he
would so ne higher. | knocked the
watch down to the rube for $50. II
had cost us so cents, wholesale.
Three days later the farmer came
into the store again and wake !
quietly up front. | noticed that h
was standing beside the same 'cappel'
that had raised his bids on the waite
but l thought nothing of it. My in
preston was that the old hayseed W;
pleased with the watch and had pro-
ably come back to buy another for e.,
friend or relative.
Business was slow this day, and .
there were not many in the room

containing well-known America n
works. The case was a good heavy.
gold plate, and the watch cost us $50
Several men in the store examined it,
and the rube looked it over carefully,
going so far as to pry open the back
with his thumb nail.
~ offer ST." said the farmer. as
soon as l had asked for a bid. The
capper' raised the bid to s.. and the
farmer made it $2.25. Several men
raised it a little, until it had reached
1920, and at that figure it was the
farmers.
What troubled me was that our
'oapper' hadn't continued to raise the
bid. Naturally we never intended to
|sell that watch to an outsider. The
game was to sell it to one of cur
'cappers, and then, after getting ev-
cry one interested. run off a lot of
lcheap watches.
81 couldn't understand why our cap
per- hadn't raised the farmers bid.
