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.

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.
