Auctions in Jug-.11..
There is little chance for trawl :
complaint in the matter of can. . . ,
auction sales in.Japan. AltJolli,“ 1 e.
are not nearly so many sad-s
there as in this country. affirm... .
the cities have a way of co-izu.....:
them much similar to our mL‘ILLOU .,_
voting.
When an auction is to take place
the goods or property is advertisul to:
two weeks ahead. On the day of tin
sale each bidder writes his name and
address and the amount of his bid fox
each lot on a slip of paper, which he
carefully places in a box. When all
the bids are in the auctioneer opens
the box in the presence of the specta-
tors. and. after examining. all the
goods are declared the property of the
highest bidder. By this system the
American custom of owners bidding
in property on goods would almost en
tirely disappear.
May Be Something In This.
“If I ever get to be a celebrity I
mean to be gracious to everybody.”
“Well, if you began by being gra-
cious to everybody now, don’t you
think that would give you some ground
for being considered a celebrity?”—

the centre front and may be made of

binations.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY!
The “Orient ” and “ Saracen ’
Are THE wheels of to-day.
At Saunders,’ No. 12 North Main
Is where they hold full sway.
He carries every part in stock
And treats you all alike,
No trouble if of him you buy
Your Ninety-Seven Bike.
At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer.
The reason is, they’re fitted with
~ The famous “Pitch line gear.”
The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
You know the reason why,
They’re just the class of riders
Who know what wheel to buy.
Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,
Just watch them in the races,
And for yourself you’ll see.
And when the victory’s over,
When time prize has been won,
They’ll quietly speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.
Yours Until Death, '
