AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND 00. BUSINESS CROAKERS. , _BY NOTICEABLE of late has been a tendency on the part of some so-called economists to whine about the slump in business, and to predict dark days ahead tor our commercial community. The people who indulge in this gloomy pastime are no friends OUR FIRM from time to ti_„ ..„ koow is criticised by district agents and competitors, but we regard jealousy as the sincerest form of flattery. We are too busy and centred on our own business to criticise our competitors. of the business community. They are its prophets of woe. They go about with long faces, plaintively wailing about the dark days ahead, when all round them the sunshine of sound commercial activity is inviting business people to the entertaining of a real and lively hope for a steady return to normal conditions. TOU want personal attention and no possibility of your consignments being sold for less than its value. H. MATSON and CO. are the Firm. No impartial observer with any pretensions to a sound knowledge of business principles, can fail to detect this steady return to normality in the general trend of trade and commerce to-day. Ever since the war we have lived in an era of abnormal conditions. la some respects this has been likoncd. to boom times, although in many other directions the abnormal circumstances, which were the result of war and post-war conditions, have been extremely prejudicial. OUR Clientele is composed for the most part of independent fanners — the large man who prefers servico jo flattery, and the small man who requires results and not boosting. ' Every sound economist has known that such an era must be comparatively shortlived, and has hoped sincerely to see the end of it. That is what is happening now. The trade and commerce of this country is getting back to sound and sane principles. There is nothing to deplore in the present tendency. It is rather an occasion for genuine pride, and healthy expectation of better times ahead. Cast your mind back since 1914. H.
