Sipling’s Pet Shop Sloan's Pharmacy x Western Auto Auction in Marietta An auction, according to Webster, is a public sale of property to the highest bidder, by a licensed person for that purpose. To laymen an auction is a social event where one meets acquaint- ances, a bargain center where one gets a treasure at a portion of its original cost. To a dealer in second hand furniture, it is the answer to a long search for just the right accessory. To an antique dealer an auction affords a rare buy, to children its the place to romp with friends and choose foods or sweets to satisfy a crave but to the seller its an organized means by which to dispose of properties at a fair exchange in an appointed span of time. An auction was held for two days this week in Marietta when the estate of the late Miss Frances Reinhold was sold. Buyers came from Texas, W. Vir- ginia, and New Jersey, as well as from the vicinity. Bidders were happy with their purchases; some were unhappy or disappointed because of losing a bid or having to pay a price higher RINT 42 E.

The items sold were the acquisi- tions of at least three generations, and as a rule were in top condition. Many former residents, relatives and associates of the seller returned for the event conducted by Cones- toga Auction Company, Inc., Manheim, R. D. 1 with J. Donald Longenecker and Walter L. Bomberger, Jr., as auctioneers. The piece bringing the highest price was a cherry two-part cupboard at $2,750. A china 16” rose medallion punch bowl went for $610, while about 50 ladies hand- bags sold for the song of $1. Collectors of stamps, politi- cal memorabillia, bisque dolls, silver service, cut glass and antique jewelry had a heyday. More than 300 persons registered for the numbers necessary to iden- tify the purchasers; how- ever, many persons used the same identification number. Perfect weather held forth for the 9 a.m. to midnight sale Monday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday event. To many people an auction is a way of life.
