We will say you have something to
sell, but nobody knows it, and you
don't want to take time to hunt a
buyer. 1t is-not necessary you should
take time. Just cali up the ad. man
at the Herald office, tell him what you
have, to sell and he will do the talk
ing for you in the want ad. depart
ment. This costs money? Yes; but
If what you have to sell is not worth
the price OF a notice in the paper, we
would advise you to keep it.
