Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXXV. Civil Procedure and Limitations § 513.145. Sale of personal property--notice of time and place--exception

No goods and chattels or other personal effects, seized and taken by virtue of any execution, attachment or replevin, shall be sold, until the officer having charge of the writ shall have given ten days' notice of the time and place of sale, and of property to be sold, by at least three advertisements, put up in public places in the township in which the sale is to be made; provided, however, that when any property shall have been actually seized by virtue of either of said writs of execution, attachment or replevin, which is in a perishable condition, or is likely to perish or depreciate in value to any considerable extent before such ten days' notice would expire, then the court may order such property sold by the officer in charge of such writ and property, without notice, for cash, and to the best interests of the parties to such suit, and account for the proceeds to the court before whom such suit is pending.
