Selling every day in all parts of the. : country keeps me in touch with men who want to buy what you have to sell. I work for a man from the time I get a sale until the last article is sold. § Made sales last year in Missouri, lowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. If a mem- § ber of your family were seriously ill, would you depend on some very com! o mon doctor who had not schooled himself in his profession, with limited “§ experience? NO, you would hire the best physician obtainable. The same’§ rule should hold good in the sale business, as an up-to-date man will get much more money for your property. It is with much pleasure ‘that I earnestly recommend my good friend and auctioneer Col. C. E. Robbins, to any one needing the services § of an auctioneer of high efficiency, he being a most excellent judge of of values and a whirl- wind worker in ring or on block.

CHARTERS, Jr., Butler, Mo. C. E. Robbins has helped us at our horse sales in Kansas City more or less for the past four years, and we consider him one of the best horse auctioneers that we know of in the coun- try.
