The Arvada enterprise., 1916-06-01
Sales Day Only
Fairly Well Attended

s
Sales day at Arvada Saturday
was only fairly well attended as
so many We're busy in the fields,
and the bidding was not as spii-
tied as could have been desired.
However, some articles brought
good prices, while others went
for little more than a song. This
condition proved a good thing
for the buyer, but a rather poor
proposition for the seller.
AS advertised the program of
the day was well carried out.
The Arvada band was on the job
from l:30 to 2:30 and the boys
did remarkably well and every
one was pleased and proud of
their work.
Prof. Vaplon Of the Agricul-
tural College Was present and
made a fine talk to the crowd
just before the sale started.
Mr.. Davis very kindly allowed
the use of the old garage room
and Mr.. Vaplon made his ad-
dress from an improvised plat
form in this room. He had
been given no subject on which
to speak d2d therefore made an
imprompta address touching on
the various subjects in which a
community of this kind should
be interested.
He assured the people of the
willingness of the State Agricul-
tural College to cooperate with
the farmers, fruit growers,
truck gardeners and poultry and
stock raj ers in working out their
problem and suggested that
they call on the college if they
desired to take advantage of the
college extension work, which is
doing 50 much in other localities
to help the bows and girls to be-
come scientific poultry raisers,
stock raisers and Garymen. anC
in fact every linz OF agricultural
and domestic economies.
Col. Bashors starl,d 'le sale
Immediately after tac a..,rass,
and right here, we wish - -ttue
that Col. Bashor is an auction,
eer that is a hard worker and in
every way conscientious and
that he got every cent possible
out of the articles sold.
The editor and Albert Recht
clerked the'saie and did our bes,
to satisfy everybody, and so far
as We know all were well pleas,
ed with their treatment, altho
some seelned to think their goods
went too cheap The season of
the year, probably had much tt
do with this. as that whice sold
cheap, was largely articles that
would not come into use unit
next fall or winter.
The attendance was not as
large as might have been al
another season of the year anC
consequently the demand fol
certain articles was not as great
The merchants say they had ;
fair day, tho not as good as they
had anticipated.
The editor has worn out tW,
or three receipt books (almost,
within the past week, giving re.
ceipts to those who are renewing
their subscriptions while they
can still get the paper at Sl.0l
per year. OF course this doesn't
make news print any cheaper
but it does help the editor tt
buy beans and bacon. 1t makes
US feel good, too, to have oul
friends show so much interest ir
the Enterprise. We are sendinl
out some statements, which have
a double purpose, one to let yol
know how your subscription
stands and the other to remlnC
you that you can save 80 cents
by getting in before July lst
Where your renewal is not due
until July o. August you car
well afford to come in bcfor,
July first and take advantage OF
the dollar rate as we will credit
you one year in advance from
the date Of the oX,iraIlon
/ Many thanks for your prompt
ness in this matter.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Nolan ar
