The Wisdom of World
The World carries more "want-ads" than all the other Territory
papers combined. The World "wants" are fetching f etchers. One Tulsa
man cleared $1000 on a twenty-five-cent World "want ad." Big deals
are made every day through little "want ads." They bring results.

from New York but none knew who
