THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe metropolis contains no more important profession than that of the auctioneer, and it is a matter of universal interest to become fully acquainted with the methods, enterprise and qualifications of the leading and representative New York auctioneers. Prominent among the number is Mr. James P. Silo, whose well known auction rooms are such a favorite with the general public. Mr. Silo's qualifications as a successful and respected auctioneer are too widely known to require extended comment at our hands. He has now been established at his present warerooms since December, 1879. They are certainly most eligible and central in location, being close to Broadway and the leading commercial centres of the city, and easy of access from the nighboring city of Brooklyn. The premises are twenty feet by eighty in dimensions, neatly fitted up, and wherein consignments of every description of goods follow each other in rapid succession. Mr. Silo does a general auction business, and has every facility for the prompt disposal at excellent prices of all descriptions of household and office furniture, carpets and curios, books, etc., statuary and pianos, miscellaneous merchandise in wholesale or job lots, etc. Mr. Silo is a most popular auctioneer, familiarly known to metropolitan audiences, from the time when he was so actively identified with Mr. Johnson's prosperous old auction house, and it is safe to add that Mr. Silo's sales are the best attended in the metropolis. People expect and invariably get the fairest and most liberal of treatment from him, and his ware-rooms are always a sure place in which to find the greatest bargains in furniture, bric-a-brac, paintings, curiosities, also carpets, pianos, etc., etc. He has developed the largest and best class of the trade in this line in the city, and the secret is his unswerving honor, and the fact that he devotes the closest personal attention to the disposal of all goods consigned to him. Householders also are always pleased at the prompt and efficient manner in which their effects are disposed of, and an account of sales rendered, and in every way Mr. Silo fully merits the large measure of confidence reposed in him by a discerning public.
