For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

HEARTFELT THANKS – We, the family of P.J. Bailey, were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support (in words and in deeds) following his recent passing. This has been and will continue to be an incredibly difficult time of sorrow and we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the following: - family - friends and neighbours, including P.J.’s many friends and acquaintances far and wide - the Augustana community - the staff and administration of Charlie Killam School and other schools in the Battle River School Division #31 - Bob’s musical friends and colleagues in the Alberta Band Association, Alberta Choral Federation, and Phi Beta Mu, throughout Alberta - Bob’s teaching colleagues, former and current students and their families - Reverend Larry Pederson of St. Francis Xavier Church - the Camrose community We are grateful for the kind, dignified and helpful demeanor of the staff at Burgar Funeral Home, especially Mr. John Person. We would also like to thank the wonderful musicians for P.J.’s prayer service and funeral (Joel Gray, Kathleen Corcoran, Dr. Roger Admiral, Charlene Brown, Dr. Ardelle Ries, and the members of Simply Brass – Tom Spila, Len Busse, Olav Traa, Norm Skretting) for their beautiful and expressive musical tribute to P.J., which meant a great deal to us.

“The song has ended, but the melody lingers on...” Irving Berlin – Bob, Valerie, Brittany, and Halley Bailey WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND a sincere thank you for the sympathy, flowers and many acts of kindness shown to our family during the final days and passing of our mother, Theresa Nichols.

Our warmest thanks also extended to Burgar Funeral Home and the Norsemen Inn. In lieu of thank you cards, a donation has been sent to both Camrose congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
