make any dlffrrenc what It la-he
ran get It by menus of a email ad
Included In tne "war.!" column ar
"For Sale," "For Rent" "'tMtt,'
"Found," "Stolon" and "Mlacel-
Inneoua." Now, Juat see what
chumps some people are! Why, a
man has been known to hunt over
a clly this rlty-fnr days looking
far a house In which lo live. Had
ha come to The Aatorian office nnd
asked for a want ad. he could have
gotten his house without the least
bit of trouble and for about J& cents
It Is Needless
To tell of The Aalorlan'a circula
tion. The paper lias been estab
lished for a quarter of a century.
Why, old Concomly rend the first
rumor of the building of a railroad
to his brave from It Circulation
I The Astorlan s long suit. Conse
quently, when a fellow come Into
The Astorlan office, look pleasant,
throws down K cent on the coun
ter and suys he want a houae, he
gut It.
Why, Just Think !
The Aatorian goes Into every house
In Astoria nnd a great majority ol
those In tho surrounding sections ot
Oregon and Washington. Hence, II
you Insert an nd. In Tho Astorlan,
It I equivalent to engaging a man
to go a roil nil to all those houses and
tolling the Inmates that you want
something or have something for
sale. Why, talk about a snap!
A Bit of Advice
When you want anything no mat
ter what It la when you have any
thing for sale; when you lose, llnd
or steal anything, come around and
tell your trouble to Tho Astra-Inn.
Bring 25 cents Willi you, and, nbovo
all things, look pleasant. Tell tho
clerk that you want a want nd. In
thn want column, glvn him your 2i
cunts and go awny happy. As Her
man Wise would ay, a want nd,
will restore thn blind, Dm bald and
tho bowlegged to manhood.
