Timely Suggestions
AND
RULES OF THE SALE.

through successfully a great many
large and important sales , but
have never attempted anything
of gigantic proportions , or one
which is fraught with so 11111113'
benefits to the public. ,
The following are a few rules
which wo found necessary to
adopt during the sale , and wo
think it best to mention them as

usual custom.
Ifomeiuber , however , that they
