A new heading ‹ADVERTISEMENTS› was inserted. This new heading contains also the footer text that was originally printed on each page of the ads section. The ads were printed in several different styles with considerable variation. The styling has been herein greatly simplified. Several large curly brackets ‹}› that graphically indicate combination of information on two or more lines of text have been eliminated, by restructuring the text. Ditto marks ‹Do.› were also removed.
