4 Daily Romance.

The small classified advertisement
popularity known as want ad" has
become a daily record of minds and
hearts of people.
AS money is a medium of exchange
so a want adj is medium of COM
munication. AS the New York World
says. 1.-THE real republic of letters
where the rich and the poor, the pow
erful and the distressed. the corpora
| ton and the individual meet on equal
terms and have an even chance of OBJ
tanning what they want and wish.
ITO find a fiat or a house suitable in
size. price and situation, or to rent a
house or fiat, advertise; to buy or sell
furniture, books, pictures, clothing-ali
the necessaries, comforts and luXuries
of life-advertise; to find missing heirs,
runaway sons. wayward daughters, adj
vertise; to summon the estranged 10
deathbed reunion. advertise. Such has
become the general practice
The want advertisements constitute
a calendar of their own. One can tell
the seasons by the character of the
wants advertised. The classified adj
vertising column is also the temple to
which honest people go to announce
the finding of that which belongs to
others; it is the recourse of those who
have lost things for the recovery of
that for which they are willing to pay
a reward.
The want adj costing little and
meaning much often the stepping
stone from despair to hope, from idle
ness to employment, from distress to
comfort - has become a feature of
goth century journalism. Its tales, like
truth, are stranger than fiction. They
are all things to all men. All one has
to do is to push the button" and the
want adj will do the rest.
The Argus classified advertising co..
umns speak for themselves. They are
the best medium of communication be-
tween the individuals that can be OBJ
tanned. If you have not already tested
their value, give an Argus want ad" a
trial.
