Still the quips pour in. The Quips
Editor fouSd his desk literally COW
cred with letters from Classified read
ers and each letter contained a quip.
Some Of them. of course, did not mea-
sure up to the standard which the
Quips Editor has set, some did not
make their meaning entirely clear and
some did not read the ads closely
enough and shot wide Of the mark.
But in the main they were excellent
quips. In fact, the Quips Editor had
difficulty in deciding the winners for
today. Some of them were so spontan-
eously humorous that the Quips Edi-
tor had a nice. hearty laugh over
them. all to himself.
MOST FUN FOR EDITOR.
Letters are coming in with quips
from all over the country. The Quips
Editor didn't realize until now, Just
how many and how far flung was the
army of Light Classified readers.
Truly, the classified advertiser is talk
ing to a large and varied audience.
As matter Of fact. the Quips Edi-
tor is getting more fun out of this
contest than anybody. He gets to read
all the quips. good and bad. and he
certainly is the recipient of lot Of
real humor.
OF course. we realized some of the
letters were written hurriedly but we
have been surprised in the number of
good auips we have received. The
Quips Editor still has stack Of dol
