The results that one
gets from want ads '
should be more than
is expected.
It is true of Bee want
ads that tliey bring
more than should be ex
pected of any western
newspaper's classified
advertising. The re

bring the" highest kind
of satisfaction.
No matter what you

you more answers than
you expect - and will .
prove that you can do a
large business on a lit
tle investment. s '
