FOR SALE ads and satire on publicity habits
Classifieds include a Weisner upright piano offered for 175 and a Tunxis Hill road house for sale, with ad copy reflecting local pricing and contact details. A Harper’s Weekly inspired notice mocks how public figures habitually begin statements with My attention has been called, noting this phrase often elicits laughter and reveals vanity in modern publicity.
