Rent That House That’s just what you want to do—but you want the right tenant. To turn a house over to an unknown person is like giving a stranger a blank signed check and letting him fill in the amount. Houses represent investment, large cash outlays. You must know something about the people to whom you rent a house. If you know the paper they read you know how to judge their responsibility, for people select their newspapers as they select their friends, for similar tastes and beliefs. That is why Times readers make good tenants, for The Times stands for clean news and reliable advertising. Your house for rent advertised in the Want Ad Columns of The Times will reach responsible people. Try it. Call Riley 5551 now.
