Biography of an Object Writing Contest

As you know, we are always looking for ways to engage with a new audience (as well as opportunities to reconnect with our existing friends and customers).  Whether it is speaking to school kids about items that could have been found on a wagon on the Oregon Trail or offering insights  to curious adults on how
to evaluate 19th and 20th Century unknown artists, our efforts are motivated by a sincere desire to "preach the gospel according to Garth."  In no way is that meant to make light of anyone's  religious beliefs...it has just been the way that we, internally, verbalize what our company is about.  By all accounts, Garth
Oberlander was a kind, sincere and dedicated auctioneer; focused on delivering a quality auction experience and treating everyone "right."  We sum it up as:  "Dependable. Honest. Results."

Those values have been at the heart of our company for 60 years; and, although sometimes our efforts seem peripheral to our core jobs, these efforts are right in line with our core values.  Our latest endeavor is a partnership with three of the major "trade" papers and the top online database.  We are grateful
that P4A.com, AntiqueWeek, Antiques & the Arts Weekly, and Maine Antique Digest share our interest in proselytizing to new (and old) audiences.  Check out the Biography of an Object Contest www.garths.com/contest) - and, even if you are not interested, pass it on to a child or adult in your life.  Better yet, offer them a suggestion from your own collection or inventory as the inspiration for their entry.  Spark their imagination and share with them what it is that makes us all crazy about this "stuff."  Use
your passion to ignite a passion in someone else.  That's how we got into the business; and, probably how many of you got your starts, as well.

Thanks for reading and thanks for your business.  We'd love to hear from you.  Call, email or stop by.

Best Regards, Amelia & Jeff Jeffers
