IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU

When a tree falls in the depths of some I'M
inhabited forest, there is no sound. 1t doesn't
make a noise because there ism anyone there
to hear it!
Pretty much the same thing is true about op-
portunities. They don't exist for you unless
you're there to take advantage of them.
The opportunities to save money-and make
it-that are presented in the News Classified
columns every day don't mean anything to you
unless you know about them. They're simply
little printed ads-until you read them and
make them serve your purposes.
Can you afford to miss this chance to keep
in touch with the best offers-in real estate,
merchandise, employment, business service and
the other big interests of everyday lfe-that

venience?
