First Car Show of the Season
The WANT ADvertiser's first show of the '08 season was the Merrimack College Automotive Club's 3rd Annual Car Show. A variety of cars attended despite the rainy weather. There were rows of Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Hot Rods and Customs, Exotics and some of the largest pick-up trucks I've ever seen. Here are just a few photos:

It prides itself in being the largest source of magazines in the area, carrying over 7,000 titles. If you're looking for a newspaper, you'll find 50 daily and weekly publications. Trading card enthusiasts will also be impressed by Newsbreak's selection. While you're there, you can also pick up greeting cards for those birthdays, anniversaries and weddings coming up. Newsbreak's uniqueness is not only in its large selection of print media, but also in the fact that it's a convenience store that offers a lounge area where you can purchase coffee and pastry while you enjoy playing Keno or your favorite lottery games. It's not just a convenience store, it's a destination. Newsbreak has been in business for 22 years and is located on Route 6 at the Swansea Plaza in Swansea, MA.

What makes thewantad.com different?
I am often asked what makes thewantad.com different than other classified advertising websites. There are many sources for buying and selling used items, but few can offer what thewantad.com can.
Thewantad.com is run by WANT AD Publications, the company that has been locally owned and operated and publishing The WANT ADvertiser for over 50 years. The reason the WANT AD has been so successful for so many years is its dedication to customer service.
At The WANT AD we have more employees in our call center alone than most classified ad sites have altogether. If you want to place an ad over the phone, just call 1-800-292-6823, they can even give you advice on your ads description. That alone is a feature almost no other classified ad site can match, just try finding a phone number on other sites!
What makes our website different? Unlike other sites that rely on users to flag and remove inappropriate or fraudulent ads, we proofread all ads before we post them on the website. This way we know exactly what ads are going to be posted. When you browse thewantad.com you know that all the ads are genuine.
If you aren't familiar with what kinds of ads can be found on other sites, read this article!
Some classified ad sites even block the sales of pets. We have hundreds of ads for animals, its one of our largest categories. We are New England's most popular source for puppies, kittens, fish, birds, horses and all kinds of miscellaneous pets.
The best thing about posting an ad on thewantad.com is where else your ad will be seen. Unlike other sites that only have a web presence, we have a print publication! We print all of our ads into The WANT ADvertiser and/or WANT AD - Powered, so your ad is seen by thousands of web users AND thousands of print readers, every week. Our print publications are sold at over 3,500 retail locations throughout New England.
Another way thewantad.com is different is that we are a local company. We aren't some start-up company in Silicon Valley in California, we don't outsource labor all over the world, we are right here in Hudson, MA. Feel free to stop by during business hours and we will take your ad in person. You can even bring your item and we will take a photo of it for no extra charge, hows that for service?

My Work Study Program at The WANT AD
My name is Eitan Tye and for the past two weeks, I have been observing and helping out in all the different departments of the Want Ad, as part of the work study program at my school. I am a ninth grader at the Park School in Brookline and I will most likely be attending Concord Academy next year. Because I live in Newton, about a fourty minute drive away from the Want Ad office in Hudson, my parents were unable to drop me off and pick me up every day. Justin Lord, the Marketing Coordinator at the Want Ad, lives near me in Brighton and stopped by my house on his way to and from work every day.
I learned a great deal about the process of publishing a magazine during my time at the Want Ad. I spent time in the graphics, marketing, circulation, facilities, finance and human resources departments and also spent some time in the call center. I realized that there are copious detailed and complicated aspects of creating the Want Ad and Powered, and that it also takes a tremendous amount of work to keep the website running smoothly. In addition, one of the most significant things that I noticed was how passionate all the employees at the Want Ad are about producing the best possible magazine.
