Auction Sales Popular With the
American People.

| 'One or the best appreciated sales
known to the modern business world is
without doubt an auction SALE" re.
marked N. Hack, Detroit travelling
salesman, while discussing various
methods of selling.
The reason an auction sale is 90 pop.
ular with the American people is:
First, because auctioneers are most al.
ways clever entertainers, and second,
because an auction sale is the only sale
in which a purchaser has the right to
place the selling price upon the goods
he wishes to buy, while during ordin-
ary sales the selling price is made by
the merchant and the buyer must either
pay the price asked for it or pass it up.
