Underground Classifeds

 



Underground classified's were where people were their most real. These are from the Ann Arbor Argus., ca. 1970.
"Kathy Lankton please call home. You are loved."
"Bill Rowe please contact the Argus so that we can straighten out our occasional financial situation."
"Poor student in Ed. School needs warm floor (in basement or elsewhere) to crash on until spring. Could pay small rent. Call 764-6351."
"White Panthers need corvair ignition system. 2 or more tires. Battery. May pay money. 708 Arch."
"The Argus has an IBM composer typewriter available for the community's use. Bring your own ribbons. DO NOT COME ON LAYOUT DAYS -- TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.
Bruce needs a pair of pants. Size 28-32. Bring much needed donation to 708 Arch."
