A Penny

Property MayMean
Many a Dollar Lost :

II you have property You wish to
dispose of, don't be backward in
spending several dollars to advertise
it.
A small adj, stating you have a house
for sale and giving the location. will
be read by n great many people and
will bring inquiries and probably a
sale. A more generous space with
perhaps picture of the property, d
pithy description of its best features
spring water. good neighborhood. easy
access to cars. good view, etc. makes
the kind of ad that is clipped out by
home seekers and brings them to you
with their minds half made up to your
place and ready to buy.
Five dollars spent in finding such
customer may mean difference OF
several hundred dollards in the selling
price.
