THE ENDICQTT TIMES, THURSDAY, DEC 18> 193Q LIVE BABY AUCTION BRINGS SURPRISE TO CAPACIH CROWD The Red Arrow Auction held at the Lyric Theatre Monday was pronounced the most successful of the series thus far, both- by the participating 1 merchants and by the patrons. The attendance was very satisfactory the audience filling the theatre almost to its capacity. Bert Lindsey, acting as auc tioneer, kept the crowd laughing with droll antics and wise-cracks. He showed himself especially adept in holding the \real live baby\ which was sold in the open auction. This baby caused con siderable surprise, inasmuch as the majority expected a much cheaper model of \baby\ to be •offered. The. infant was a pedi- ?d Boston terrier from the En- Jotc Kennels, and brought $725.00 in Red Arrow money, the success ful bidder being Mr. Ephton Wal ker, of 108 Adams avenue. Mrs. Gertrude Flaherty of 609 South street took home a fine 18- pound turkey which was the door prize, and it will no doubt pro vide a delicious: turkey dinner The value of the gifts offered in the silent auction was $218.31, those sold in the open auction were worth $31.00. the total value being $249.31. There were 101 articles given away at the auction and the entire bids aggregated $8400.00 in Red Arrow money. The highest bid in the silent auction was one of $400 for Parker pen and pencil set. given by Tiffany's drug store. Attention was also called to the Booster Contest -which' is now in full swujg. Only three more months .to go, and someone will receive a $235.00 Copeland re frigerator. And the Red Arrow Tenants asked us to let you in .in this connection io*'fetBvis it will be the one who works the hardest, not \the one Who Trusts to Tuck.
