Adding To It
Three successive notices from the classified column of a small Connecticut weekly paper tell their own story: March 22: “For sale. Slightly used farm wench in good condition. Very handy. Phone 366-R-2. A. Cartright. March 29: “Correction. Due to an unfortunate error, Mr Cartright’s ad last week was not clear. He has an excellent winch for sale. We trust this will put an end to jokesters who have called Mr Cartright and greatly bothered his housekeeper, Mrs Hargreaves, who loves with him.” April 5: “Notice! My W-I-N-C-H is not far sale. I put a sledgehammer to it. Don’t bother calling 366-R-2. I had the phone taken out: I am NOT carrying <pn with Mrs Hargreaves. ‘ She merely L-J-V-E-S here. A. Cartright. —Contributed \by Jim Greene to Reader’s Digest.
