    (a) Regular advertising. Except as prescribed in Sec.  127.28 (c),

the time and place of sale shall be given for three successive weeks, 

immediately preceding the sale, in one newspaper of extensive

newspaper is to be selected by the port director and publication of the 

notice shall be authorized on the standard form provided for that 

purpose. The notice shall designate the place where catalogs may be 

obtained and a reasonable opportunity to inspect the merchandise shall 

be afforded prospective purchasers.

    (b) Where proceeds are insufficient to pay expenses and duties. If 

the port director is satisfied that the proceeds of the sale will not be

of the sale in lieu of the advertisement shall be conspicuously posted 

in the customhouse, and, if deemed necessary, at some other proper place 

for the time specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
