KING MIDAS HAD A FAIRLY GOOD ACT

He had the power to change everything he
touched into pure gold. This stunt was great
" admired by the ancients.
But now everybody in Perth Amboy can
change their household articles or anything of
the sort that S no longer needed into pure cash.
They all have the "magic touch" these daysl
If you have any piece of household or bust
ness equipment that has o%utgrown its useful
ness to you, though still in good condition, you
can cash it in by telling the quick buyers of the
city about it through a little ad in the Evening
News classified columns
If you are anxious to pick up some article at
a big saving over the original price-watch the
offers of the advertisers in the Merchandise
columns every day. A look will save a lot of
money.
When you want to use an ad of your own,
call 400 and ask for an ad-taker.
