Purchase of the Standard Aircraft
plant at Elizabeth, N. j., last week by
the Simmons Company, one of the
largest bed manufacturers in the coun-
try, through Joseph P. Day, indicates
that the demand for space is as grea
as ever and that Western concerns
are seeking accommodation here for
several we'll recognized economical
reasons.
The Simmons Company has 2,o0O,-
600 square foot plant at Kenosha.

sey plant IS to Get more working space
and space near tidowater.
The Standard Aircraft plant was for
merry the property OF the old Steven

enson erected a large manufacturing
plant at this point when he gave up
his Location IN New York City. Suisse
quently the property passed into the
hands Of the Brill Manufacturing Com
pany. From the Brill company it
passed into the hands of the Standard
urer OF airplanes for the government.
1t was here that the celebrated Hand
ley Page airplane was manufactured,
The plant was so we'll equipped that
it was used by the government for a
large amount Of experimental work.
The Standard Aircraft Corporation
when in full operation employed 49,,
600 people. The old Brill plant was
added to and it's original 100000 square
teet OF floor space was increased to
$4,000 square feet of the most ap

ranging fron twenty to sixty feet. with

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
BUY 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.
