DAVIS AUCTION LOT SALE
WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL
Purchases TOtaIied APPROX
mately $4,000

Despite the unfavorable weather
prevailing On Friday last when a con-
tinual downpour of rain literally
drowned things in this section of the
country, no sale of the Davis prop
erty was possible and it was post
poned until Saturday. The cloudiness
Of Saturday made it seem almost adj
visable not TO proceed with the sale.
yet the land company having charge
Of the auction recommended action,
with the result that durirg the day
many of the lots were 600 ed of.
The sale was concluded ca NJ nday,
resulting in the sale Of the entire sub
division Of 240 lots at prices ranging
from $50 to $500 for ffty-foot lots,
and totalling about $4,000.
Each day of the sale was featured
by street parade composed of either
the Oakland band or the Crellin band,
banner display and the several sales
men Of the Bowman Land Company
all dressed in white uniforms. Will
liam Jewel, a World War veteran, of
Philadelphia, made two unusually
hair-splitting parachute leaps from a
large balloon. During the two days
of the sale something like three hum
bred presents or souvenirs were given
away to those attending the sale, re-
gardless of whether the parties re-
ceiving the same were either bidders
or buyers Of the property.
Mrs. Paul B. Naylor and Mrs. J. w.
Butts each received a free lot adver-
tised to be given away at no cost
whatver to the recipients.
A popularity contest inaugurated a
week prior to the sale, which was in
augrated and developed by the Bow
man Company, resulted in the winning
of a diamond ring by Miss June Dun
nington, of Mountain Lake Park, al

as the most popular man in the

the lead over DR.. Henry W. McComas.
The Crellin band received a free
lot as the most popular organization
in the county.
The members Of the Oakland Civic
Club served very appetizing luncheons
at the sale. This portion of the affair
was presided over by Mrs. E. Ray
Jones, Mrs. Paul Naylor, Miss Mary
Porter, Mrs. J. NJ. Stanton, Mrs. G.
D. Sprague and Mrs. F. E. Rathbun.
The lots were purchased by men in
all walks of life, many of whom are
planning to erect dwellings upon their
new holding within a short time.
The owner OF the property, Mr.. ].
W. Davis, has expressed himself as
being we'll pleased with the result of
the sale. He states that the financial
returns are about twice as much as
he had been offered for the property
as a whole, which is a good endorse
ment for auction lot sales and high
recommendation for the Bowman
Land Company's ability for their vo-
cation in which they have been en-
gagged for quarter of a century.
