CONDITIONS OF SALE 
 
 1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may 
 be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be 
 likely to affect the sale injuriously. 
 
 2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
 arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide 
 the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 
 
 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase 
 money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the pur- 
 chasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default 
 of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and 
 re-sold. 
 
 Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the 
 time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of 
 which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the 
 risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for 
 the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and 
 without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such 
 purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale shall 
 be a charge against such purchaser. 
 
 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment

 Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of 
 any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 
 
 5, Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in 
 which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed 
 by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, 
 afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and 
 reasonable rates carriers and packers ; doing so, however, without any 
 assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of 
 the parties engaged for such service. 
 
 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the pur- 
 chaser. ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and 
 thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in caring 
 
for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if

 within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 
 
 /Y, Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association 
 of the correctness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of 
 any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, 
 error of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is 
 on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which 
 it is sold ‘‘as is” and without recourse. 
 
 The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
 rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
 expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, 
 in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention 
 of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible 
 for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper 
 foundation.
