Journal Want Ads Is To Span the Salem Territory Imagine a gigantic hand reaching out of the ether, of sufficient size to take in all Salem and its trading terri tory at one sweeping span. How its present would be felt! And, if beneficent, how the populace would sing its praises. Capital Journal Want Ads can be likened to such a hand, in a multifariously helpful way making itself felt everx evening in the great majority of the homes, stores, offices and factories of Salem country providing a most de pendable and yet economical means of bringing thou sands of buyers and sellers together every day. The office manager in need of a capable stenographer, the foreman who wishes to employ skilled hands, the housewife short of a nurse or cook, the farmer needing help, and the person without work or who is anxious to secure a better job all find Capital Journal Want Ads well-nigh indispensable. The thoroughness of the Cap ital Journal coverage insures a wide-spread reading of each of the classified ads, whether two lines deep or two hundred. When you have something to sell, be it a discarded house hold article, a used motor car or your services; when you wish to purchase or rent a home, to buy, at a bargain price, a Buite of furniture or a range the first and most logical thing to do is to turn to Capital Journal Classi fied. There you will find offerings of others there you can at slight expense make your wants known to the greatr majority of those, yojLwhh bp reach. CapitalJUournal
