Even now, many house- liolds are looking to the approaching spring with tentative plans for mov- ing, buying or renting a new home or apartment. Many important changes will be brought about through the clas- sified ads. Even now, those inter- ested in realty are rep- resented in the classi- fieds with houses, apart- ments and business loca- tions in preparation for the spring moving sea- son. Whenever apart- ments or flats are vacant for any length of time, vou may be sure the owner is unprogressive. There is a modern way of keeping apartments always filled—it is the classified ads. The classifieds provide the best means of intro- ducing landlords and ten- ants, realty owners and purchasers. 1
