Hines Auction Service Inc in Minnesota

Hines Auction Service, Inc was started in the 1960’s by Colonel Jack Hines of Ellsworth, WI. The business grew year after year. Jack sold everything from farms to machinery to antiques and real estate. Business continued to grow and the family became ever more involved. Eventually Jack was joined by his son Jeff. Jeff worked on and off with his father for many years and graduated from auction college in 1985. Jeff finally joined his father full time in the 90s and the business took off. As a team, this father and son duo helped to grow one of the largest auction firms in the Midwest.
