Little Talks on Classified Advertising. DISCARDED ARTICLES At the present time there Is a ready market for all sorts of used household goods, cast-off clothing. sacks, rags. paper, metal, bottles, rubber and dosens of other commodities at prices much highen than have ever be fore prevailed for this class of merchandise. A careful inventory of the average household would un cover a great many articlea which have been cast aside for one reason or another, but which still possess a certain marketa ble value. Although an article may be of no value to Its pres ent owner someone else will want It and be willing to pay a good pnlce for it. A small classified advertise ment in The Oregonian describ ing the discarded articles about your premises will quickly bring; you buyers for the goods.
