We make good sales ana always have a large following of butchers that we can depend upon for competition.

The Government price is always current, and expert buyers are always prepared to pay the Government price in the * works. In the open market it is a question of assessment. One buyer estimates bigger killing weight than anyone else and the boldest buyer to-day may be the smallest competitor the next day, therefore the Auctioneer who is Celling should have th e best abilities and our sellers are noted for their magnetic power of extracting bids and are surely the men you want, and you can only get them by sending your business to H. MAT-: SON AND CO.
