It was plain to every business man pres:nt that a single city or .com munity in either of these valleys can- tiot possibly afford to carry a heavy fi nancial load, such as is necessary to do any . extensive advertising and therefore the Idea of making the two communities a unit on advertising matter was favorably received. It was argued, that if Elgin Intended to spend a thousand dollars a year in publicity she could get probably five' limes tnai amount or advertising by Joining with the other towns who ex pected to do as much in proportion.

Almost every variety of small arti cle is represented In" the heterogenous lot which Is to be auctioned off. There are penknives with broken blades, and cavalry sabers. T here are cheap brass rings, and there are rings set with diamonds and rubles, bracelets studded with gems, and diamond soli taire ear rings.
