FURNISHINGS Of
OYSTER HOME
AUCT|ONED
Paintings and Household
Goods of Late Dairyman
Go Under Hammer

The last echo of the marital
troubles Of George M. Oyster,
wealthy Washington dairyman, who
died at Atlantic City two years ago,
while his young wife was living in
their apartment here, was heard
yesterday when the paintings and
household effects of the Oyster
home were auctioned at Sloan's
Galleries.
A large crowd was on hand for
the sale and in some cases the bid
ding was spirited, but the majority
of articles brought only a few bids,
and many valuable purchases were
made at a fraction of the appraisal
value.
The paintings. which have been
on exhibition at the Corcoran Art
Gallery and at the Sloan Galleries,
brought fairly good prices, though
no sensational bidding was done. In
some cases the pictures were with
drawn from auction through lack of
bids. 80" -" - $50
Many of the heirs were on hand
for the auction, but they did not
monopolize the bidding, most of it
being done by outsiders. Oysters
widow, who was formerly Miss
Cecile Ready, daughter of Mrs.
James Ready, was not there, nor
did she have any representative
present, it was stated.
