One buyer estimates bigger killing weight than anyone else and the boldest buyer to-day may be the smallest competitor the next 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 gefe them by sending your business to E.
