MHehell Big Crowd Attends Yadkin Man's Sale (Elkin Tribune, Oct. 23) A Yadkin oounty farmer, projecting his personal troubles Into a unique advertising campaign, pyramided an auction sale of property Into one of the biggest sales events ever held In the county last Saturday. Henry H. Brooks, who lives three miles west of Brooks Cross Roads at Marler, has been allegedly having his troubles since he' "got religion" earlier this year at a revival meeting held ■ — ■ in the Marler community by Dr. Luther Horn, traveling evangelist. Since that time, Mr. Brooks stated, everything has gone wrong in his personal life—his wife and family will have little to do with him, his friends turned their hacks, and he has been unable to carry on friendly relations with his church, he said a few days ago. So, distributing a circular through011^- the county recently, Mr. Brooks proclaimed that he was Intending to hold a sale of his personal property on October 18th. "The reason for this sale and service is because my wife and family have turned hatred against me and destroyed the only home ® have on earth," Mr. Brooks stated in his circular. *'I was head of my home so long as I drank, cursed and raised hell and did everything else the devil wanted me to do—then when I tried to turn my back to the devil and everything lie stands for, and to do the will of Qod, my wife and children decided to take over and tell me what I could do. But, bless God, I'll have a home in the clouds one day. If you have any flowers for my grave, please drop them in my path now,'* the statement continued. After the circular was issued, Mr. Brooks advertised the sale widely in newspapers, stating that "Funeral services would be conducted at 9 o'clock," an hour before the sale. Saturday morning by sale time saw the largest crowd ever assembled in the county for a similar event, estimated to total around two thousand persons, with more than five hundred automobiles parked a distance of five and six city blofcks from Mr. Brooks' place. The funeral services, which Mr. Brooks said he thought his Wife was going to preach, were never delivered, but after a talk | made by the owner was over, a large amount of farming tools and shop tools were delivered to a ready market of ^buyers who paid well over the new market prices for the second-hand equipment they purchased. Which just goes to show that it pays to advertise, whether you have troubles like Mr. Brooks or not.
