A little about the story

Matt goes to an auction and is fascinated by the patter of the auctioneer. Soon he and a friend are setting up as young auctioneers themselves, travelling the countryside and selling everything from vases to horses.

Matt is a rolling stone who has never stuck at anything, and the story shows how hard work and honesty polish him up. Edward Stratemeyer's early success story is full of humour and Yankee enterprise.
