The Things
You Want
IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO GET ALL OF
THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT, BUT YOU 'CAN
BE ALMOST SURE THAT IT IS IN YOUR HOME
TOWN IF YOU LOOK IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR
IT.
SOMEEBODY WANTS TO DISPOSE OF THE
THING THAT YOU WANT TO SECURE, AND SOME
TIMES YOU WANT TO SELL SOMETHING THAT
THE OTHER FELLOW WANTS.
THE BEST MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH EV-
ERYBODY CAN GET TOGETHER ON THESE
THINGS IS AN AD IN---
The Daily Times
The Timesdteview
THE COST IS SELDOM AS MUCH AS
BENEFIT REALIZED THROUGH THE BARGAIN
THAT IS MADE.
