This supremacy has been attained solely by merit WORLD WANT ADS are retfd by the most people read with the most interest and with the most con fidence The World carries more than twice the number of want ads of any other paper in this territory no prizes, no contests, no special inducements. The World solicits and accepts Want Ads only on its ability to produce re suits for the advertiser. V . : r - Since the first publisher conceived the idea of classifying"' printed announcements for easy reference there has followed an ever-increasing number of both readers and advertisers; There is just enoughs the air of romance, of pathos, of humor and of mystery in the WANT ADS to make their reading highly entertaining as well as very profitable to those who read and use them wisely. Under the heading "Help Wanted" we find: "Wanted, a bright; capable young married couple to travel in the orient as repre sentatives of a large manufacturing concern; must be," etc. etc: Can't you picture the romance in connection with a trip of this character, for the right couple? Then a glance at the "For Sale Misc." gives us, "Baby carriage for sale, in good condition," etc: With very little imagination we conjure up the picture o a mother whose babies have outgrown their crib. A turn to the "For Rent Rooms," reveals the following: "For rent South front room by elderly lady with large front windows." Here we have the subtle wit of unconscious humor. A further reading and we find this: "Lost, strayed or stolen, seven of my best) barred Plymouth Rocks." Here is a; mystery to test the steel of a modern Sherlock. Truly, the WANT ADS run the whole gamut of human emotions and therein lies the secret of their popularity, they are so down right human. And because they xire popular they are profitable. THE WORLD.
