HEBER MONTHLY
AUCTION DAY TO
BEGIN TOMORROW
Barbecue to Open First
Tuesday Sale; Will
Sell Anything

Tomorrow marks the inauguration
of an entirely new plan by the
chamber of commerce of the town OF
Heber. Commencing tomorrw, it is
the intention to conduct monthly
auction sales for the benefit of the
people of the town and surrounding
territory.
These sales will be more than just
sales. They will provide a fine OPP
lprtunity for everyone to get to.
Eether and enjoy themselves. AT
II clock barbecue will be served
which will be absolutely free to all.
Immediately after the dinner the
sale will begin.
Everyone who has anything to sell
is invited to bring it. Nothing is
barred, however small or however
large Everything will be put up
ut auction and sold to the highest
bidder by "Wachtel Brothers, the
well known firm of auctioncers
This plan affords a fine chance cs-
pecially for those who have only "A
small amount to sell. Often lots
are so small that it would not pay
to have "a separate sale of them. By
this plan they can be successfully
sold. There will be no charge ex-
cept the regular auctioneer s fee,
and the owners will get the advant-
age of the extensive advertising
done by the Hcber Chamber Of Com
merce and Of the free barbecue
without having to pay a cent for it.
Those who have things for sale
are advised to list them early and
those who wish to purchase are adj
vised to come early, in order to OBJ
tain their choice.
Judging from the enthusiastic
response met with on all sides, this
plan is going to be huge success,
and it is anticipated that a real
gathering will be on hand tomorrow
at the Inauguration of this unique
plan. The members of the cham
Der of commerce certainly are en-
titled to great credit for their pro-
gressivcness in planning and putting
on these sales
The sale will be open to anything
from u bag of peanuts TO ranch.
Household goods, livestock, automo-
. biles, tractors, merchandise, and any
thing else will be offered mt public
auction. The sale will be on the
second Tuesday in every month and
is expected to attract large crowds
from all over the valley.
