you”—if “Fortune” is
somewhat in your debt
—if your “good luck”
is overdue—let want ad*
vertising help you to
COLLECT.
A want ad. will turn
things “your way”—
will sell, at a profit,
something you are hold
ing at a less, *will
“unite” your “tied up”
investments by finding
buyers for whatever
you have to sell—will,
in short, go out and
“collect” what “the
