Real Estate At Public Auction
McCook experienced a novelty in the
real estate business last Saturday
when -Al Shera offered two pieces of
farm land in this vicinity at public auc

Although bids were made on both
neither piece was sold It is thought
by real estate men that the absolutely
cash terms as well as the time of year
militated against the success of the sale

A Perfect System

In operating the system here two
masters in the art of management are
alone required to handle one hundred
chautauquas whereas for the same num
ber of miscellaneous assemblies there
will be required fifty times as many
Each of these two is especially gifted by
nature and has remarkable opportunity
for development Their system is per
fect It has been and will continue to
be a success
