Lot Sale Misses Fire.

The public sale of lots on Saturday,
conducted by the United Realty Co.. was
perfectly staged. with big crowd. lots of
interest. distribution of prizes as promised
band of music. auctioneer apparently dis
posing of lot every few minutes. etc.
But the one thing lacking was buyers.
Everything seemed to be working smooth
ly with the United Realty Company do
ing their part, and going through the
form of selling the lots. but it develops
there was not single purchase. the Real
ty Company having all their trouble and
expense for nothing, and the sale being a
complete failure. This doesn speak
volumes for our town as a growing one.
and officers of the Realty Co. state it is
the first sale they ever staged where no
lots were disposed of.

day before was that it was rather slow"
