'Want Ad'
Market Place
EOPLE who have visited market
places In foreign lands find
them picturesque, quaint and color­
ful. If they had studied them care­
fully they would have found them
also most inefficient. To sell things
there it Is necessary to transport
them to the market place, display
them, watt for customers, and take
home what remains unsold Often
considerably deterlorlated in value.
Perhaps one of the very real con­
tributors to our high American
standard of living is the greater
efficiency of our less picturesque
market places, the classified or
want ad columns of our papers.

Joe stood on the curb and

down at Dusty. Dusty was watching
him expectantly. He wanted to
walk some more. Joe slipped the
card into his pocket and started
up Vine street at a pace that rath­
