THEY’RE LITTLE GEMS—THESE ADS OF OURS.

Guy Swim lost fifteen dollars Saturday night. Naturally he was downcast with Christmas fast approaching, and his pocketbook thus lightened. Fifteen dollars is not to be sneezed at in these days of high prices and —well, lots of folks would find fifteen dollars a distinct boost to their Christmas purse, reasoned Guy, and what right had he to hope for the money’s return. Then a happy thought struck him—a classified ad might turn the trick if the finder of his wandering money was honest —it was a long chance but worth the attempt, and he proceeded to put his idea into execution- . , , „ The Republican’s telephone bell tinkled this Tuesday morning, and the -voice at the other end of the line said: “This is Guy Swim. I placed an ad in your paper last night. You might discontinue it. I have the money and all is well again. Thanks.” Wonderful little gems—these ads of ours.
