Rensselaer Commercial Clab Will Inaugurate Sale and Invite Buyers From All the Large Cities.. * —■ ■ ■. ■■ V Rensselaer will hold monthly horse sales on the first Wednesday of each month beginning Wednesday of next week, February 2nd. The Rensselaer Commercial Club appointed a committee consisting of W. V. Porter, B. J. Moore find A. J. Harmon to start the sale going and they have decided to do a lot of advertising to make the first sale a big success.

These sales have been conducted successfully at Monticello for several years. Buyers come there from the leading commission houses of Chicago and Indianapolis and private buyers from all over the Country. All of these men will be invited to Rensselaer. Large bills will be printed and sent out to all the towns within a radius of 20 or 25 miles and every person that has a horse for sale should bring it to Rensselaer on that day. A member of the committee will visit Monticello next Tuesday, which is their regular sale day and ask all the buyers there to come to Rensselaer the next day. Bills will be posted at the Chicago stock yards and newspapers at Medaryville, Francesville, Monon, Wolcott, Wheatfleld, Roselawn, Mt. Ayr, Morocco, Brook, Goodland and Remington will help advertise the sale. Rensselaer started a, sale of this kind some years ago but did not keep itgoing. Now it is to be installed as a regular feature to take place the first Wednesday of each month. There is no expense of sale to the-, man with the horse. He brings it in town and sets a price on it. If a buyer takes him up’all right, if not he can take his horse back home and is at no expense. If he sells it he pays no commission to any one. Horse owners should not set a fictitious value on their animals, but should ask just what they want for them. The buyers are all men whohave had lots of experience in the business and who know the value of horse flesh. They will buy any horse that is for sale at Just what it is worth to them.

Remember the date is Wednesday, Feb. 2d, and bring your horses to Rensselaer on that day if you want to sell them.
