1-1 undreds Chat, Bid
At Annual Auction
A flashback to the "good old days" took place Saturday as State
College area residents, students, and faculty members participated in
the University's annual auction to rid the University warehouse of
used equipment.
Beautiful spring weather brought hundreds of youngsters and
grownups out to an old-fashioned auction to converse with their
neighbors and to leave with their''
cars stacked high with bargains. ,
Everyone Didn't Buy
However, not all came to buy.
Many just sat and talked with
friends. Topics of conversation
ranged from national politics to
"my daughter-in-law had an
eight-pound baby boy last week."
Auctioneer Harold Leightley
put hundreds of items on the
block. They ranged from carpets
from Prexy's house to used auto
mobiles and from a complete soda
fountain from the Temporary
Union Building to an Internation
al little genius.
Business-like Leightley had lit
tle trouble in getting the bargain
hunters to bid, except when he
offered a huge wooden box for
sale. What the University had
used the container for, no one
seemed to know. After showing
the box, Leightley received no
bids. "What's it good for," some
one yelled from the audience.
Leightley avoided the question
and proceeded to try to sell it.
Bids Go Wrong Way
"A dollar?" he asked. But he
still got no answer. "Seventy-five
cents," he then said. Still no bid.
"Fifty cents," he yelled. He was
still talking to himself. "Who'll
give me twenty-five cents—use it
for kindling," he pleaded in a do
or-die attempt. He sold the box.
Prices received for items ranged
from ten cents to hundreds of
dollars. A 1949-model Ford sta
tion wagon went for $490, while
an exact duplicate in less good
condition brought $135.
As the shadows lengthened, the
audience of buyers grew smaller
and contented people could be
seen leaving with many bargains
that will probably find a place in
their attics
