MATSON AND CO’S Agency as there are paid touts and complimentary touts in all callings of life. Our paddocking accommodation is the best. We make good sales always have a large following of butchers that we can depend upon for competition. The Government price is always current, and expert buyers are always prepared to pay the Government price in the works. In the open market it is a question of assessment. One buyer estimates bigger killing weight than anyone else and the boldest buyer to-day may be the smallest competitor the nest day, therefore the Auctioneer who is selling should have th e best abilities and our sellers are noted for their magnetic power ..of extracting bids and are surely the men you want, and you can only get them by sending your business to H. MATSON AND CO.
