THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING
is a subject of vital interest to all of us. But how
to reduce that same cost is still more interesting.
One gtood way to do this is to watch for the money
saving opportunities presented in the advertising
columns of The Star. For instance, on page 6 to
day you will find a good sized ad of Frye & Co.
which will tell you of money saving prices on meat.
You have something to sell or trade, haven't you?
Something which, while of no particular use to you,
may be just what your neighbor is looking for.
A Star Want Ad is one of the best "get-together"
mediums in Seattle for buyer and seller.
Phone Main 9400 or F.lliott 44. or call at The
Star downtown office, 229 Union St., with Souvenir
and Curio Shop. Your message will be taken into
more than 40.000 homes.
YOU will have your turkey, of
course, on Thanksgiving day and
all the trimmings that go with
it, but how about Mother Ry
ther's boys and girls? Do you
want to help?
