Ashton beginning 'On this record you can hear parts of an actual sale of tobacco held on the floor of Tobacco Auctions Ltd. Salisbury introduced by BOB CAGE. Mr. Cage a native of Halifax Virginia has been auctioneering tobacco for over fifteen years in the United States and Rhodesia. His unequalled flair for imitating others of his calling makes this record a unique souvenir for all those engaged in any branch of the tobacco business - .'. Continues with a description of 'the business of selling tobacco by auction' in Rhodesia the auctioneer is described as 'selling up to £500 worth of tobacco every minute - a feat of salesmanship it might be difficult to equal anywhere': '. The buyers have their own very individual methods of bidding. Perhaps the touching of an ear a sharp glance at the auctioneer or the raising of an eyebrow may send the price up by a penny or twopence per pound. .' R. F. Cage is an artist sculptor tennis player preservationist and community activist. In 1984 he won a world tobacco auctioneer contest sponsored by R. J. Reynolds and in 2007 he demonstrated 'the disappearing art of calling a tobacco auction' at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Tobacco Auctions Limited, Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. unknown
