ADVERTISING FARM SALES Dollars Used for Advertising Farm Sales Wisely Invested NEWSPAPER^SPACE BEST All Forms of Publicity Good, but Some are Superior to Others Some farmers who conduct an auc tion sale of farm machinery and live stock are getting as wise as the dry goods merchants and they are adver tising their sales just as freely as the merchant advertises a bargain sale There has been a remarkable change in the manner of advertising these farm sales. A dozen years ago the average farmer who made a sale of his personal property at auction thought he was doing enough advertising if he bought $2 or $3 worth of handbills and scattered them about the neighbor hood, but today the wise farmer is run ning attractive display advertising in the county newspapers. Some of the best auctioneers will not contract to cry a farm sale unless the owner of the property to be sold will do a specified amount of adver tising. On this subject a successful auctioneer recently said: “It is hard work trying to sell property at right prices to a small crowd, but it is easy when the crowd is large, because there seems to be a sort of electric * current through the bigjcrowd. always arousing contention among the bid ders. 1 positively know that judicious \ advertising of a farm sale brings good ; money to the owner of the property. Let me illustrate: Suppose that by the aid of good advertising a farmer can draw to his sale only two bidders who would not have been there if they had net seen the advertising. Suppose these two bidders each happen to want the same kind of a horse or some > cattle or farm machinery offered at the sale. Why, the bidding of these two extra bidders at a sale might in crease the sale price of one team of horses enough to cover the cost of advertising, and the example of the two bidders might inspire the other bidders to pay a much higher price for everything than they would have paid if the two extra bidders had not been there to put ginger into the bid ding.-’ Tiie auctioneer was asked to give his idea about the best plan for adver tising. and he replied: ‘•The best money a man can spend in advertising a sale of farm property is to carry an advertisement in the county news paper. My advice is to select a county newspaper which lias a large circu lation. and carry a good-sized adver tisement two or three weeks in ad vance of the sale. It is all right to ! have handbills printed and scattered i over the the neighborhood, but the newspaper advertising is much better than the bills because handbills are quickly destroyed, while the newspa per advertisement is taken into every home, and is constantly before the readers of the county paper. I would also advise every farmer to mail a lot of postal cards to persons whom he believes might be interested in his sale. Mail the cards just a day or two before the sale, thus getting a late jog to the memory of those who | might otherwise forget about the, sale.”—Aurora Republican.
