Cars Auctioned Here by Dealer
About 300 people attended an auction of used cars last Saturday at Ebert's Garage bidding a total of 2200 for 12 cars. The lowest price was a 1936 Chevrolet sedan sold to A P Ashby for 40 dollars and the top bid of 350 dollars paid by Robert Sirk for a 1942 Dodge. A 1937 Buick sold for 305 dollars. The firm said buyers definitely got bargains and most cars had new inspection stickers. The sale helped liquidate dead inventory despite the firm losing money on overall value.
