Now that the first primary
election is over and you can
settle down to a period of
fewer political outbursts,
why not look around your
home and clean out those
surplus items you have been
accumulating?
Dig out those used articles
you stored away when you
bought new things for the
zhome-~so someone probably y
wants them-and realize
some extra money.
The best way to let people
know what you have to sell
or trade is through the clas-
sified ad columns of the
Chronicle Star and Adver-
tiser.
Just call 502 and a court
eous ad taker will assist
you in writing your message
and the cost is economical
too-just &c a word.
