As filed

First reported sale in several weeks a market trend is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted from last reported sale. Large crowd on hand for the 13th annual customer appreciation sale along with celebrating 69 years of business. Demand was good from a large crowd of buyers from start to finish on a warm June day.
