THE NEWSPAPER EXCHANGE

There is no section of the news
paper that comes home closer TO
where people live than the classified
advertising. No matter how much
moe important theoretically the news
from Mexico may be, the fact that
your neighbor has offered his house
for sale at certain price touches you
much more closely.
From these columns you read the
intimate story of the towns daily
life. The housewife is curious to
know who is advertising for positions
as servants. Working people want to
know who is asking for help. Peo-
pie who own or wish to buy or rent
real estate are interested in the pend
ing transfers. II is hard to find a
class of people who do not follow

these notices week by week.
Hence it is perfectly astonishing
how many answers are often received
from a simple little insertion in the
To Recent, For Sale, or Want columns.
Anything you can do by personal in
auiry is multiplied a hundredfold by
the press.
Some people will put in hours or
days and time worth dollars, running
around and making inquiries haphaz-
ard, when they want to rent place
or sell some property. Meanwhile a
few nickels or dimes spent in the
newspaper would reach hundredfold
more people. Usually the man whom
you expect to interest has other ideas,
while the newspaper brings inquiries
from strangers and sources that
would never occur to you.
This kind of advertising permits
the buyer to get the best price. be-
cause he learns whether there is to
he any competition. 1t gives the
seller the most advantageous trade.
because he finds whether there is
really to be demard.
in many places farmers arc already
doing good business through the
parcel post by newspaper advertising.
They are developing trade that
would rather pay special price than
buy through middlemen. The classi-
fed advertising is time saver and a
money Garner.

spondent of the Montreal Gazette.
While up at Roberval Mr.. Rowley
heard that man there had four young
pups, part red and part black. 1t is
said that nobody wanted to buy the
animals. though the price was about
$40 or so head. Mr.. Rowley gave the
man his price. The next morning Mr..

ranch of Lieutenant Governor Wood
Of New Brunswick, who had been
securing the country for young stock.

into the hotel and In front Of every
one present offered Mr. Rowley sew

When the villagers realized the offer

spot and the place has been fox crazy
ever since.
Mr.. Rowley is also purchasing pure
black dog fox at very small sum and
will cross it with the litter which he
got SO cheaply. He expects to have
litter Of pure black foxes next
spring.
