There arc only a few people who, if they cou ld get something for 90 cents, wou ld insist on paying a dollar. And so, since most of us are fairly thrifty, why shouldn't we, on certain occasions, look into the Want Ads for what we want and save something to put into our savings account? Many things, as good as new, are offerred there for a fraction of what they wou ld cost if new. Used cars are really in certai 1 respects better than new ones, and ofte 1 they cost only half as much.
