Lithographed tin advertising sign featuring the Naturich Feeds brand, manufactured in Wilson, Kansas by George Eicholtz Adv. This mid-century farm advertising display depicts a stylized feed sack in vibrant green with yellow and red accents. The graphic design showcases the Naturich logo with a sunrise motif and wheat sheaf imagery, prominently displaying "50 LBS. NET" and "FEEDS" text.
This agricultural advertising piece would have been displayed in feed stores, farm supply retailers, or grain elevators to promote the Naturich brand of livestock feed. The design utilizes classic 1940s-50s commercial art techniques with bold typography and high-contrast colors intended to catch the eye of rural customers.

IMPORTANT: Your acceptance of these terms is your promise to read and abide By the Condition of Sale as Printed below.
While Auctioneer has endeavored to advertise and describe the property correctly, all property is sold "as is," and neither Auctioneer nor consignor will be responsible for the description, authenticity, genuineness, provenance, or condition of the property. No statement contained in the advertisement, catalog or made orally at the sale or elsewhere shall be deemed to be such warranty or representative or an assumption of liability. All buyers should physically inspect the item prior to placing any bids. No bids can be withdrawn for any reason. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneers shall have absolute discretion to either determine the successful bidder, in which event his determination shall be final, or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, Auctioneer's sale record shall be conclusive as to who was the purchaser, the amount to the highest bid, and in all other respects. If the auctioneer, in his sole and final discretion, decides that any original bid, that any advance thereafter is not sufficient amount, he may reject the same. While most items in the auction will be sold without reserve, the auctioneer withholds the right to bid in behalf of each consignor for the purpose of protecting reserves, that is, placed bids during the auction if and when the highest bid is less than the reserve on the lot being offered. No properties purchased during auction may be removed until paid in full and must be removed on sale day or during the time frame of scheduled pickup times, unless special arrangements have been made prior to placing bids. Auctioneer will not be responsible for lost or damaged merchandise and no refunds will be made if lost or damaged. Unpaid invoices past the scheduled pick up days will be automatically settled with credit card on file. Items left past scheduled pickup days will be considered abandoned and become the property of National Auction. No refunds for abandoned items.
