What Your First Want
Ad Teaches You
All your life you have heard of people
using want ads successfully, yet it may be
that you, yourself, may never have tasted
their usefulness.
The purpose of these little talks about
advertising is to induce you to order your
first want ad. After you have once Jnade
the test yourself and know from.personal
experience of the rapidity of action and
definite results which may be secured, you
use want ads, thereafter, as a matter of
course.
Your first want ad teaches yoy that it
pays tp advertise—that tenants may be se
cured, that customers may be obtained,
that quick sales may be brought about
through classified advertising. Study the
want ads published on this page and note
the very many different ways in which
people make use of (hem.
You may telephone your want ad. A
courteous trained ad-taker will answer
your call and be glad to carry out your in
structions faithfully.
