Fred Snow Made Fine
Record at Neponsit Sale
Sold 6O3 Lots in Little Over
-Four Hours; Curiosity
Seekers Turn BUYERS

Fred Snow, auctioneer for the Jere
johnson Jr. Company, established an
interesting record when he sold sos
lots at aution in four hours and fifteen
minutes week ago yesterday at Ne
ponsit for s3S4,05o.
1t is recognized generally that MANY
attend auctions from curiosity. No one
knows this better than the auctioneer.
IT IS up to the auctioneer to get the
audience interested, and if he is sue
cessfu1 the curiosity seekers often be-
come the best buyers To deal with
these persons. however, usually re-
qulres magnetism besides personality
and adaptability in presenting the Of
ferings.
Mr.. Snow proved that he possessed
these qualities, for buyer after buyer
remarked that he never intended to
puy before going TO the sale. The
crowd, ii not the largest, was one of
the largest which ever attended a
realty auction. 1t was estimated that
iu!iy l,o0O persons were in attendance.
Another requirement for the success
tul auctioneer is to keep the crowd in
terested until the close of the sale and
to keep buyers buying more. To sell
oo3 lots, each to different individual
at separate bidding, would require
many hours, with the result that certain
prospective buyers waiting for some
particular parcels would grow tired and
leave before the auctioneer came to
them.
Mr.. Snow proved his ability to keep
the buyers buying. His task is better
understood when it is taken into con-
sideration that no one bought less than
t"o lots and eighty persons each
bought plots OF five lots each. A plot
OF thirty lots was the high mark pur-
chase at the sale.

Thousands of people today are
suffering for the want of iron, are
tired, run down, and don't know
what is the matter with them-it's
the lack of iron in the blood, that
life giving essential that rebuids the
worn out tissues from the food you
eat and gives you the strength,
health and glow that nature intend
ed you to have and which you would
have but for the strenuous times in
which we live.
Your physician will tell you that
you must have an iron tonic if you
go to him but in the greater num-
Der of cases the iron you get at the
drug store is injurious to the teeth
and irritates the stomach with the
result that the risk is almost as bad
as the cure.
Acid Iron Mineral overcomes these
defects because it is a natural iron
