My bidding technique is naive at best: I simply bid my top price and then
ignore the auction.
If I win, it’s fine. I get a nice addition to my S scale empire.
If I do not win, well, that’s fine, too. Somebody else places a higher value on
the item, and now he gets to enjoy it. I do not begrudge him his success.
When selling I put a nominal value on the starting bid to encourage bidding.
Buying and selling on eBay was more fun in years gone by. Now it is used by
merchants as a store. I do not visit as often as I used to.

* * * Notice to travelers * * *
People are rapidly learning that the San Antonio & Aransas Pass penetrates the
finest health country in America!
Thousands testify that the Kerrville branch is by far the most natural
sanitarium of the world. This fact is recognized by persons afflicted with lung
trouble, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, etc. It ought to be of great comfort to
the health seeker to know that there is hope for him in the mountain resorts of
West Texas.
Every town and hamlet along this line is noted for its natural curative
properties. The air is so pure that animal flesh may hang out in the open air
for weeks without decomposition!
