BARGAINS And
MORE OF Them
Great Opportunities Offered
for Exchanging Things
You Cannot Use
IT'S EASY TO SWAP NOW

what you do.
And sur they come. Bargains and
more of them.
Nobody thought there were so many
in Wilmington until The Evening Jour
nal started its EXCHANGE depart
ment. AS one interested reader re-
marked. IT'S a regular mine of infor-
nation"
Nobody need be without anything
these days. If it cannot be found else
where it's in the Exchange column. IF
it isn't there today It will be tomorrow.
Meanwhile that package Of hairpins,
etc. still awaits an owner at The Even
ing journal office. 1t is very probable
that the lady who dropped them is too
bashful to come forward to claim
them.
On the other hand. people Of Will
mington appear to be very careless
with their keys. Some one lost a bunch
of and the finder left them in the
Journal Office to be advertised. No
less than 9 persons-queer, isn't it.
called at the Journal office looking for
keys. but they were not the ones they
sought. It's a good thing there are few
burglars in Wilmington when so many
persons are careless with their keys.
EXERCISE FOR MUSIC.
Some one has laid aside the bicycle
for the season and wants a phono-
graph in exchange. Even a typewriter
would do. The owner of the wheel will
be very easily satisfied. Cannot some
one accommodate him or her, and take
81.
What are saddle owls" anyhow?
Did you notice that two pairs of them
are offered for exchange2 Barn owls
and other kinds are familiar to "us
farmers" but it must be admitted that
saddle owls" are strangers to city
dwellers.
Just below the owls is something that
the young married couple, who are fur
nishing their home, want. A fine royal
wilton rug and a drop light complete
would go very well in the dining room
or library. Think it over.
And in the next column there's a
parlor clock. offered and even seven
alarm clocks.
What would you do if you couldn't
wake up in time? Buy the whole seven
clocks if necessary-that is II your
weekly salary depended on your get
ting to business on time and you didn't
want to miss your breakfast. Imagine
the merry time you'd have If the whole
seven went off one after the other.
There must be few Spanish persons
in Wilmington, capable Of giving les
sons in that language. While there
were many answers to advertisements
turned in to The Evening Journal office,
not one replied to the one asking for
instruction i'm the dialect of sunny
Spain. Better try some other tongue,
young man."
BIS" thinks violin is not useful
Many residents Of Wilmington are a
bit doubtful about it themselves, and
they may agree with the advertiser.
Notice? He wants TO trade it for
Something useful" If that is not cast
ing a slur on the instrument made fam
Gus by Paganini and Joachim, there's
a mistake somewhere. Maybe the ad-
vertiser merely means that he cannot
play the fiddle" himself and he wants
to trade it for any old thing he can
play. Won't somebody kindly offer
him Persian cat for it?
JOHNNY! GO HOME.
b0ll 14tINtbWn iitln bttil lpcl AhGct
many years. John. why don't you go
home? Your sister wants you. II you
are anywhere in Delaware. kindly re-
heve the anxiety of youf relative.
Right here is a fine question.
Wouldn't it be better to place adver-
tisements of this kind in the Lost"
column rather than in the Personals? ?
Real estate is quite cheap sometimes.
but did you ever hear of an owner who
would sell entirely on credit-no cash
down? And yet "A-22" has the temer-
ity to suggest that some one accommo-
date him. Still it probably would be
all right to trust him, for he states ex-
plicitly that he has a good position.
Maybe it would be worth taking a
chance.
Has anybody a spare horse and car
riage? If So would you change it for
a fine upright piano? If you haven't
a sleigh, the horse will "eat his head
OFF, when the snow comes, but the
piano might be useful during the long
winter evenings. At first glance it
would appear that the owner Of the
horse would be getting the better of the
bargain, but that's a question.
Have you anything to swap? Think
/ it over. Then hunt it up and bring
your little advertisement to The Even
Journal Office. You will find it to your
advantage.
