means Of conserving

Naturally the banker
is a constant user of
want ads.
The want ads secure
competent office help
for him on short notice.
They find buyers for GER
tain securities he wishes to
turn, and many is the piece
of property they have sold
for him at a reasonable
profit for his institution.
The banker realizes per-
haps more than any other
man that real estate is the
basis of most great fortunes
and as result he Is contin-
ually buying properties on
his own personal account.
By reading and using the
want ads he is enabled to
do this. and to keep his
properties rented, all within

The want ads are indeed
a great convenience to the
