The Auction Block is a novel written by Rex Beach that tells the story of a young man named John Sherwood who inherits a fortune from his grandfather. However, his newfound wealth brings him into contact with a group of unscrupulous individuals who seek to take advantage of him. One of these individuals is a woman named Laura Murdock, who convinces John to invest in a fraudulent scheme. When the scheme fails, John loses everything and is forced to sell his possessions at an auction. The novel follows John's attempts to rebuild his life and seek revenge against those who wronged him. Along the way, he meets a woman named Alice Van Kirk, who becomes his ally in his quest for justice. The Auction Block is a thrilling tale of greed, betrayal, and redemption that explores the darker side of human nature.The boys like to see Dick trimmed--it's a matter of principle with them never to let him win a bet--and they'd do anything for me. You're the best tailor in the city, but too conservative. Now I'm going to bring you fifty new accounts, every one good for better than two thousand a year. That's a hundred thousand dollars. How much am I offered? Going! Going!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
