SUPER VALUE /ce Cream Scoop Gold Slack Rack Gold Cutlery Tray 3-Piece Funnel Set Gold Vegetable Bins Brown Bushel Laundry Basket Avocado Handl Caddi Adjustable Jar Opener Your Choice For Only By JIM FITZGERALD Some people have called it a hair-brained idea, while others say’ “why didn’t I • think of that!” Well, that idea opened to the public last Tuesday morning as the first of what has been called Ontario’s largest farm equipment auction got underway. And the man behind the whole scheme? None other than Bruce Rathwell, an area native who has seen some other so-called hair­ brained ideas through to success. Rathwell and Associates had their first giant farm machinery auction at Vanastra last Tuesday, that saw nearly $1 million worth of equipment up for sale at what is scheduled to become a monthly event. Rathwells have leased a large chunk of property at Vanastra for the sales, held the third Tuesday of every month, and in the words of , one expert, * ‘It’s just perfect. It’s the best set-up in the United States or Canada,” according to Bruce Sampson of Fletcher, Ohio, one of the big-league auctioneers who works 28 States and Canada with his farm equipment expertise. As well as a 40,000 square foot sales arena that used to be a hangar at the former CFB Clinton, the Rathwell Auction Complex boasts seven acres of paved parking area, most of which is the former parade square; a clean-up and wash facilities; a paved unloading area; an introduction display area; and a 20-bay indoor storage area. In the centrelof all this is a large office and registration building. Although there were 125 pieces of equipment offered for sale at the first sale last Tuesday, Mrs. Sampson said the five auctioneers could handle up to 500 pieces in one day, and if things really catch on, the sale could be held every two weeks and attract buyers and sellers from much of Canada and the Northern United States. Because there is more than 40,000 square feet covered, the auctions can be conducted regardless of the weather, with an indoor display area capable of handling up to 200 tractors. Although the site looked a little shabby from the years of neglect since it was closed by the government and suffered at the hands of numerous vandals, Rathwell has plans to clean the buildings up and renovate them, should the auction prove to be a big hit. Although the several hundred buyers and spec­ tators had to pick their way around broken glass and debris, general manager Larry McLean and his 20 part-time helpers expect the situation to improve dramatically in the next few months. A sale is planned for every month this year, until December 18. “It may take awhile to educate the dealers and farmers in Canada to this new way (for Canada) of selling equipment,” said Mr. Sampson.
