In order to facilitate the absolute clearance of the whole consignment, absolutely no reserve will be placed on the goods, and from the fact that the successful tender was at the ridiculous low figure of 5s in the £, the auctioneer is enabled to hold a genuine auction sale when each and overy lot submitted will positively be sold.
