The reason for this change, he stated, was so that there would not be two sales being<br />

conducted on Saturdays, has has been the custom for the past few Saturdays. The first sale under<br />

the new schedule will be held on Wednesday, March 29th, at which time livestock, farm<br />

machinery and miscellaneous articles will be sold at auction. Col. Bastow has been conducting<br />

PEOPLES AUCTION CO. MAY BE RE-ADJUSTED<br />

It was reported unofficially today that a refinancing project for the People’s Auction Co.,<br />

of this city, was underway, with the re-organization details being conducted under the this city,<br />

and his father, Charles E. Coplen, of near Talma. [sic]<br />

Herman Coplen, head of the Peoples Auction Co., was reported to be in Indianapolis<br />

today on business matters. The company it was understood has been experiencing considerable<br />

financial troubles for some time and last week the Rochester man was detained in Kokomo to<br />

satisfy a check which the local company issued to Ross Hawkins, of Galveston, Ind. This check<br />

was reported to be in the sum of $157.00 in payment for livestock which was sold at public<br />

auction in Kokomo. The Galveston claim was adjusted Thursday, of last week.<br />

Those closely in touch with the People’s Auction Co. expressed the opinion that Mr.<br />

Coplen’s financial backing which was given to the now defunct Rochester Glove Corporation,<br />

once located in the building now occupied by the auction company, was indirectly the cause of the<br />

financial difficulties now being experienced by the auction company.<br />

A more detailed statement concerning the future of the public auction concern, which has<br />

conducted sales in Rochester for a long number of years, will probably be available from Mr.<br />

Coplen within the next few days.<br />
