Aunt Jennie Is a Funny Person S ' ft

Aunt Jennie lives with us. Has for years. So we understand the odd little things she does and overlook them with "Aunt Jennie" is a funny person." There is one thing, though, Aunt Jennie does, that isn't so funny. Especially since it has helped out financially a number of times. When Johnny needed anew tire for his roadster, for example. When Sis needed that new party dress. And again when the taxes were due, and the family pocketbook was practically on the rocks.

There was the ring she found. Didn't look valuable, but it turned out to be an heirloom. And Aunt Jennie got a handsome reward by locating the owner through the Lost ads. Another time, the family "hack," as Johnny calls it, had a bad case of jitters or something. And Aunt Jennie found a service shop ad that enabled Pa to save the car and a biq

repair bill as well. Maybe Aunt Jennie is a "funny person." But her habit of reading the want ads regularly is one everybody could follow with profit. The savings and money to be made from these offerings are there for every reader. Make it a habit to read them every day . in The Times.
