Upon the death of his father he set out for himself going to Buffalo where he identified himself with the steel industry as an inspector. It was here that he was given an excellent opportunity for the study of human nature so mecessary to the successful aucâ€" tloneer. Further knowledge of huâ€" man nature was gained by Mr. Fric key as a result of three years on the police force at Kitchener. Feelâ€" ing at the end of three years as a police officer that he was well equipped for the business career he had picked out for himself, Mr. Frickey in the fall of 1918 opened business as an auctioneer, his first sale being conducted tfor Mr. Conrad R. Gies of Waterloo and comprising the Gies property on William St. His next was a contract with Mr. Daniel Ernest for the sale of his farm stock and implements near St. Jacobs. From that time on he needed no further introduction as mm auctioneer. His reputation as a mever departed from that ambition with the result that toâ€"day he takes ramk with the leading auctioneers of the county. Ambition to become a successful auctioneer did not start with Mr. Frickey four years ago when he first embarked in the business. It was an ambition which came to him in his early youth but he realized that he needed the exâ€" perience of more mature years coupâ€" led with a certain amount of study in methods of auction salesmanship. ‘“' -15’;..'”. y _W| 1 well known auctioneer, is the beginning of his fourth p the auction sale business. ce embarking on the enterprise r years ago he has met with rost encortraging success, a large ot which is directly attributâ€" to a long list of satisfied patâ€" rous who after all are the best adâ€" wertisers of one‘s business.

Waterioo, Ont A tale is narrated of his boyhood days, while still a lad of ten years. It is said that his life‘s ambition was to be an auctioneer and at this tender age he often spent hours at a stretch in his father‘s stable conâ€" ducting an imaginary auction sale with only the mute stock as purâ€" chasers. When quizzed regarding this tale Mr. Roth acknowledged it smilingly so this should prove conâ€" clusively that he is a born auctionâ€" eer and has followed his logical calling. Combined with his initial vocation of auctioneer and valuator Mr. Roth has also handled real estate for the past five years and life insurance for the past year and in these he has also duplicated his success very materially and has been handsomely remunerated for the numerous deals he has been instrumental in consumâ€" mating which is due to a large extent to his expert knowledge as a valuator. going statements of facts have been the means of continually increasing the demand for his services and as a result his business is multiplying by leap and bounds.
