Album - Ringer's River by Des Martin - Plate 6 - O'Day succeeds at the cattle auction

Historical information

Big Gun auctioneer Bernard Price makes the mistake of his life when he knocks the first pen of Boondangies down to O'Day at a minimal price, thinking him to be a kid "buying a few for mother".
O'Day promptly takes up the option of the whole draft of 4000 head of top class stores.
His telegram to this effect leads MacLough to believe his new manager will ruin him.

Significance

The album and images are significant because they document literature written by a prominent member of the Wodonga community. The presentation of this precis was supported by several significant district families and individuals.
