TATE YOU OWN ...A ,, reasonable "cam paign" of classified adver tising will "sell you out" ia real estate. No one who is looking for real estate in this city fails to read and consider the real estate ads. -Scarcely a sale occurs that is not, in some way., promoted or brought about by a classified ad. Without the influence of the little ads, real estate transactions would be hard to bring about not be cause of any fault or flaw in the properties them selves but because the "right buyers" could not be quickly or effectively ! found. It would be a slow ! process perhaps only oc ! casionally successful. WANTED (Continued.) WANTED TO RENT A Big farm on shares, for from 3 to 5 years. Address "C.
