Talk about enterprise and being on the ball . . . here’s one for the book.
Four months ago Ben Oppenheim got out of the infantry after serving as a squad leader, with 31 months service, 25 of them overseas.
Two months after getting out, he started setting himself up in business, and right now he’s going full speed ahead with the Norwood Salvage Co., 1199 Washington street, Norwood, of which he is owner.
Ben’s motto is: ‘We buy and sell anything, including junk …” and all you’ve got to do is phone him at his store, Norwood 2315, and hell be down at your place with the money and a truck to pick up whatever you have to oiler.
He’s got in stock at his store dozens of kitchen ranges and parlor stoves, all in tip-top condition . . . besides a ‘baby’ washing machine, clothes wringers, vacuum cleaners, odd articles of furniture, oil burners, sewing machines, gas ranges and many other items, too numerous too enumerate.
Yes . . . Ben guarantees quick service … if you’ve got anything to sell, he’ll get to your place just as fast as he can and take the stuff off your hands immediately. Don’t forget the telephone number . . . Norwood 2315 . . . and just ask for Ben.
