A local auction titled Your Eggs Are All In One Basket sets a sale date to liquidate available stock. Organizers urge bidders to review catalog items including dozen eggs in crates and assorted farm implements. Proceeds support the parish kitchen renovation fund.
A journal notes that large advertisements are essential for auction success and crowd insurance. It argues advertising boosts turnout, exposes sale terms, and protects against low bidding and failed sales.
Advertisement note promises free reprints with every order for two insertions of an auction ad in the Journal and one in the Democrat. Fifty reprints will be provided at no extra charge.
Farmers are advised to ensure a crowd, brisk bidding and high prices by placing sale ads in the Journal Classified Page. Auctioneers note hundreds of farmers rely on the Journal and Democrat for news of sales and the Sales Date Column serves as the community market place.
