T-CORRECTIONS
Persons should check their advertisement for accuracy the first time it appears

EDITOR'S NOTE
While verification is not always required. The State Port Pilot reserves the right
to not publish classified advertisements it considers to be of questionable taste.
Persons who have placed a classified ad which does not appear in this column
should call 457-4568. The publication of an advertisement is not an endorse
ment of the worthiness of the product or service being offered.
How to write a good classified ad
1. Start your ad with the merchandise you are
selling - starting with the merchandise makes it
easier for the reader to locate your item(s) for sale.
2. Always include the price of the item you are
selling - 52% of classified readers do not respond to
ads that do not include a price.
3. Keep abbreviations to a minimum - make it easy
for readers to understand.
4. Place yourself in the reader's position - ask what
you would like to know about the merchandise for
sale - include information such as brand names,
colors and other specific descriptions.
