AS IF BY MAGIC
Through The Cent-a-Word Column of
The Pleasantville Press all things
turn to money.

1t is done as easily and done almost
as quickly as when the magician upor
the stage turns the crank of his magic
machine, puts old shoes and old hats
in n end while gold coin pours out
of the other.
Through the Cent-a-Word Column OF
end TO the many, many things that
turn to money.
The list includes clothing, shoes,
jewelry, automobiles, buggies, wagons.
harnesses, motorcycles, bicycles, ac-
cessories, furniture, stoves, carpets,
lumber, tools, engines, lots, homes,
live stock, pet stock, poultry, eggs,
produce, seed, boats, buildings, wash
ing machines, sewing machines, vaeu-
UNI cleaners, refrigerators, lawn NOV
ers, screens, storm doors, baby bug
gies-anything and everything.
The wants of one are the don't
wants of another.
Likes and dislikes differ and eircum-
stances alter ideas and ideals.
Hence, the exchange and hence the
success of the Cent-a-Word ads.
Much credit for the success of 1t all
is due to the fact that those of all
likes and those of all circumstances
the rich, the poor, the middle classes,
the manufacturer, the buyer, the far
mer, the housewife, the dealer, the
banker and the laborer-all read these
ads.
Under the For Sale" the articles
offered for sale range from "a white
iron bed" to "a three-piece overstuffed
suite" from baby buggies" to Reed
CARRIAGES" and from "a boys suit" to
IAN all mink fur neck piece"
The cane suite discarded by the
ones who bought oyer-stuffed will be
just the thing for those who have oak
to discard and the oak will be the very
thing wanted by those who have some
thing of lesser quality.
Some like oak, some just wouldn't
have anything else but twin beds.
some want mahogany and others want
cane back chairs.
So 1t goes, and the things are shift

the medium of the Cent-a-Word Col

Picture the great army of those who
read the Cent-a-Word Ads each issue.
1t is an army of thousands. Every
