e Auction Sales Prove
Popular at Bayfield
Auction sales of household
goods have become increasingly
popular at Bayfield this summer.
Often conducted on front lawns,
the auctions attract a mixture of
people—district farmers, perman-
ent residents and vecationists
from various centres in Canada
and the United States.
According to people who have
attended a number of auctions,
those on holidays are among the
staunchest bidders, particularly
in the case of some rare piece of
(china or household novelty that
would cost a "pretty penny" back
'home if available at all in retail
stores.
Sales combine business and
• pleasure; before the auctioneer
lets loose his first torrent of
words in a way that the novice
finds hard `to comprehend, holi-
day-makers usually gather in'
small groups chatting about a
fishing trip, game of tennis or
some other pleasantries. Maybe
it's the gay spirit of those on
holidays that lifts such an affair
out of tire more serious tone of
business and gives it a festive
air. Whatever it is, people who
attend seem to have a good time,
And passersby often forget their
tasks of the moment to pause
and watch.
The auctioneer, too, catching
the spirit of his audience, holds
aloft an attractive piece of old
English china, gets a $1 opening
bid and starts his rapid-fire,
staccato bursts of: One dolleh , . ,
do I hear two? ...two I'm bid
two and a quarter ...there's
two fifty,. .two fifty ...sold.
The balance of the transaction
is a simple matter. The clerk
at the sale records the item sold
and collects the money. Mean-
while, the auctioneer tells a "be -
whiskered" yarn that normally
would not elicit a grin from most
people present; but this Is an
auction and his jokes draw
laughs. Then he turns his atten-
tion to a rather attractive lamp
and the bidding starts all over
again.
SERIOUSLY INJURED
EXETER — An eight - foto
plunge to the cement floor of
the Canadian Canners Co. plant
here seriously injured Bob Turn-
bull, 55, Exeter. Turnbull, an
employee, climbed a ladder to
adjust a machine belt when he
slipped and fell, He landed on
his hands and broke both wrists.
He is being attended at home by
er. F. 3, Milner.
