“To the Editor of the Daily Sentinel. Dear Sir, in answer to an ad in your paper I bought an engagement ring that was advertised by a private party. I paid $75 for it and have since found out that it’s not a diamond ring as I thought. The police say there is nothing that can be done about it since the person who sold it to me didn’t say it was a diamond so I’ve been gypped in a racket that the police can’t touch. I’m surprised that a newspaper like yours would carry ads like that. Signed and Ex GI”. This was one of three letters to turn up in the Classified Ads of late and Britt Reid intended to investigate.
