When a Want Ad Counts!
"Pa" stuck to the old battery operated radio through
thick and thin. Naturally he went to the same dealer
for replacements when the set broke down, only to hear,
"We no longer handle that line."
But wise Father knew the value of a well-worded Want
Ad, and it didn't take him long to find just the part he
wanted.
You'll find all kinds of bargains offered for sale through
the Want Ads. Use them the very next time you want
something, or have something you no longer want.
