This Is the season for those who seek new hornet and those who have houses 'and apartments to let to together. The Tennessean and American Want columns are the forum where both classes meet. The man who has a house or apartment to rent and neglects to advertise it in the Wants which are being read anxiously 'every day by those looking to improve their dwelling places, is missing an opportunity that may result In his losing the Income, from a desirable tenant. It Is invariably the fact that the owner that advertises earliest gets tho. best class of tenants; for such tenufnts plan well in advance when they contomplato moving.

Desirable tenants are very often bhsy people who haven't the time to tramp from street to street looking up "For Rent" signs. They consult the Index of "For Rent" property in The and American AVant columns and make their selections In that way. Have your property listed In the Want pages of The Tennessean and American if you seek desirable tenants. Ilcna by nearly people dally. CLARKSA'ILLE.
