Book excerpt: Excerpt from High Lights on Auctioneering: Opening Talks for Auction Sales, Giving the Actual Words and Figures and the Mode of Operation in Many of the Most Important Auction Sales in the History of the Country Several times in this book he says that an auctioneer is born, not made. For several years he was president of the El Reno Auction School. There he learned this fact. When we say born, we mean that he must be naturally a man of strong personality, good judgment, and very strong lung power. The profession must be fascinating to him, and he should be a live wire on general principles - clean and reliable. The reader will find several opening talks for different kinds of public sales, that the author wrote to suit many students of the El Reno Auction School, that can be used in in a sale at almost any place with only slight changes, and several of them are suitable for almost any kind of sale at any place.
