A historic newspaper ad rate card outlines classifications from Announcements to Real Estate, with office hours 8 A M to 5 P M. It details pricing per line, advance rates, and multi insertion rules, plus a comprehensive alphabetical classified index and ad submission guidance.
Classified page features numerous used car sales from Hoffman Chevrolet and others with models like 1938 Ford, 1937 LaSalle V8, 1936 Chevrolet, and 1945 Chrysler. Also includes help wanted male and female ads, including bricklayers, interns, and sales clerks, plus housing rentals and misc. listings across Franklin Street, Potomac Street, and local avenues.
Local real estate ads list houses, lots, and properties for sale with prices, locations like Mulberry Street Chestnut Avenue and North End, and agents such as Tagerstown Realty Co and Groh Realty. Several terms reference down payments, monthly balances, and quick sales in a late 19th or early 20th century classifieds tone.
