The Uncertainty of Orrville Horse Auction
The sixth monthly Orrville horse sale on June 22 drew lighter crowds than prior auctions. Western horses sold fairly well at about 117 dollars each, while 29 inferior horses went cheap on consignment, including a 2 cent bid. A good-driver in town sold for 59 dollars though valued at ninety, with a $3 selling fee and added expenses eroding profit. A boy bought a 25 cent beast, traded it for a watch, then sold the watch for 1.50. One local horse sold for a couple of dollars, boarded three days, and shed around, leaving the seller to cover costs.
