EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Marketplace Christmas and a New Year Full of Profit! 'Twas the season of merriment and deals, as our jolly auctioneer reveals, In this quaint Victorian scene, where the hammer's rhythmic beat, Brings buyers and sellers together, their eyes ever so keen, To secure a prize find, or make a tidy, festive treat. Beneath the twinkling Christmas tree, our auctioneer stands tall, His hammer poised, ready to gavel in the Yuletide sales, With a twinkle in his eye, and a pun in his call, He's got a knack for the verbal, that's sure to enthrall. "A fine lot this, my dear buyers, a real treasure to own, It's not just for Christmas, but a New Year's profit to show, Reserve price met? Very well then, let's bid, bid, bid, No need to be coy, the market's alive, my good man, bid!" The auctioneer's desk, laden with papers and gavel, Is the heart of the commercial hub, where deals are made, A place of business and history, where fortunes are tallied, In this charming, late 1890s scene, where the puns are not overplayed. So, let us raise a glass to the auctioneer's art, A Merry Marketplace Christmas and a New Year full of profit, May your bids be bold, your profits high, and your puns never depart!
