NOTORIOUS SON Earl Plowman of Toronto a former resident of RR 2 Auburn near Donnybrook and well known in the Auburn cdm- munity, was featured recently in a Toronto Star article. Reason for Earl's recent notoriety is that he is anauc- tioneer in they, burgeoning "North of Toronto" area where auction sales have become big business. . He says that farm sales Often bring 20-30 to 40 thousand dollar Earl has been in the business for 12 years and works in the radius of., 50 miles of Toronto. One ' of the reasons given by Mr. Plowman for sud- den popularity of auction sales is the amount of free time most city folk enjoy. He- believes that attending auction sales has become a new form of recreation. Another ,reason for the large attendance is the fact that there is almost Mrs Wes Bradnock 526-1595 unreasonable interest,, in anything old or may become scarce in the future. Some people call this sort of article antiques. , Earl Plowman uses the title "Colonel" because he is a graduate of an auctioneering school and every person who received his training there uses the same handle. It's an honorary title but he is known as Col. Earl Plowman, his diploma says he has the right. Born on a farm 'near Don- nybrook on RR 2 Auburn he is licensed to conduct auctions in Peel, Grey, Dufferin and Wellington Counties. Earl is a brottoof Mrs. Edgar Howatt ot he Westfield area.
