WHEN THE FISH AREN'T BITING

Old-time anglers prepare for a change of
luck by changing their bait.
When employers aren't hiring many men
and you can't get the position you want-new
methods of going after work will often bring
success.
The best way to "bait" employers that we
know is to drop a few "lines'' in the Situa-
tons Wanted column of the NEWS try 1t
and watch your luck change!
When personal application fails to put you
in touch with the 'men higher up" who might
be interested in your abilities, talk to them
direct through a truthful, well-told ad in the
EVENING NEWS Situation Wanted columns
tomorrow.
You haven't tried the best way to find the
work you want until you have let one of these
little ads carry your message to the employers
of Perth Amboy.
Stop at the NEWS office tomorrow and a
trained ad writer will help you with your ad.
