     550.18 Notice of sale.  

    Before the sale of property on execution notice shall be 
 given as follows: 

    (1) If the sale be of personal property, by giving ten days 
 posted notice of the time and place thereof; 

    (2) If the sale be of real property, on execution or on 
 judgment, by six weeks posted and published notice of the time 
 and place thereof, describing the property with sufficient 
 certainty to enable a person of common understanding to identify 
 it.  

    An officer who sells without such notice shall forfeit $100 
 to the party aggrieved, in addition to paying actual damages; 
 and a person who before the sale or the satisfaction of the 
 execution, and without the consent of the parties, takes down or 
 defaces the notice posted, shall forfeit $50; but the validity 
 of the sale shall not be affected by either act, either as to 
 third persons or parties to the action.
