Excerpt from Paintings by the Impressionists: Collection of the Late Desmond Fitzgeral, Sold by Order of the Heirs Harriet F. Clark, Carloine Van Rensselaer, Harold and Stephen Fitzgerald Rejection OF bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance, may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.

Identification and deposit BY buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address.

Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser's risk, and neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. Delivery OF purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Receipted bills. Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. Storage IN default OF prompt payment and calling for goods. Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser.
