$3,850. An unusual Black "Smoker" automation .. .in

Attendees were pleased with the merchandise,
the presentation and the speed of the auction. One
bidder from Chicago said, "This is the nicest group-
ing of merchandise we've seen here at an auction in
several years. And they did a great job of presenting
it." Peter Sidlow commented, "We've put extra
effort in the organization and presentation of this
merchandise. It's all top quality and deserves noth-
ing less."
Bidders asked about the next auction and Sidlow
announced the October 19th & 20th, 2002 auction,
also at the Tropicana will feature a large Country
Store collection. Pat McGuire also added: "This
auction had some great merchandise and we think
the October auction will have equally interesting
lots, we're anxious to get started on it."
