Some merchants say that the Racket Store
sells shoddy and inferior goods, because tneir
goods were bought at auction. We say it hi
not so. What Is the cause of auctions? And
why s hould auction goods be infeor? There
are various causes for auctions. Many mer
chants overstock themselves oy ouying too
many goods, and when their creditors are go
ing to press them they win sell for cash for
whatever price they can get in order to save
their credit. Many times the manufacturers
are compelled to sell their stock at auction In
on lor to meet their bills and there are many
other reasons for first class goods being sold
loi -less than it cost to manufacture them. We
are always looking out for these rtisarw to
