This picture shows a sign announcing an auction, and its title breaks off after the word "sell W," so the item or property on offer is not clear from the record. Hand-lettered and printed auction bills were a common way for farm families, estates and dealers to draw buyers to a sale in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Such notices usually named the date, the place, and the goods or land for sale, and they were posted on store fronts, fence posts and barns. Sales like these were often social occasions as well as business, where neighbors gathered to bid on livestock, tools and household goods.
