classified for the sale. For many years
it has been the duty of woman, Miss
Annie Monroe, to. take charge Of this
work. Through long practice she has
become an adept in yaluing the goods,
especially women's apparel and. ap-
pointments, and for a number Of years
she has been assigned ito the task OF
getting the packages ready for sale
at the Christmas auctions.
Until 1912 the goods as assorted by
Miss Monroe were, put up in packages
containing variety of articles some
what alike in character. Each pack
age was then tied up, the contents
noted upon the outside and auctioned
off in that way. Those were the days
when the Dead, Letter Office auction
sales drew such crowds that police
men were stationed at the doors Of
the downtown auction rooms to keep
the crowds in order. In those days
the Washington sales amounted to
well over ten thousand dollars an
nua1ly. F
1.-THE December, 1912, sale was
called off at the last moment by POST
master General Hitchcock because of
the pressure brought to bear upon him
by the dealers Of Washington and
other cities who petitioned him, in the
interest Of; their Christmas trade, to
stop the selling Of small miscellaneous
