sales in Kansas City more or less for the past
four years. and we consider him one of the best
horse auctoneers that we know of in the country
Had we not another auctoneer under contract,
would most surely try to hire him above every
one that we know OF. He is honest and capable
of handling any sale Of any kind OF property,
man that we cheerfully recommend to any
one needing his services.

We take pleasure in recommending Col c.
f. Robbins of Butler, Mo. as first class auc-
tioneer. His judgment is the quickest and best
OF any man we have ever seen in the sale
ring. In our sale Sept q, 1921 we had sixty
head or mules, great many people estimated
them at $zUU per span and when Col. Robbins
had finished the sale they averaged better than
$500 per span. This was a cleanup sale of the
Calvin Mckee Farming Co. The total was $4,000
which was $1,000 above our estimate on same
Col. Robbins handled the sale to our entire salts
faction and cleaned it up in little less than
three hours. We believe that any one contem-
plating big sale will make themselves money
to secure Col. Robbins as auctioneer if possible
