Don’t bother with every way under the sun trying to get one; but just read the Situation Want ed Columns of The Augusta Herald. It’s the easiest and most economical way of ob taining all kinds of good help. Every day experienced chauffeurs and cab-driv ers advertise in The Herald for positions.

If you are looking for a good chauffeur, cab driver, or general handy man—just read the Situa tion Want Ads. of The Herald and you’ll be sure to find the man you want. THE WANT ADVERTISEMENTS ARE "HUMANIZING!” When more people come to use and answer classified advertise ments, more people will know each other— More People With Interests Will Meet more people will find channels and opportunities for reciprocal ser vice.
