Weren't classified ads a real moneymaker for newspapers in the pre-web era? I don't know how that revenue compared to display ads, but losing it all to the web must have really hurt.

They were but I'm talking about the display ads.

(Brings me back to that time in high school when I was being harassed by another student and phoned in a free want ad to the paper claiming he had a little of Chihuahua puppies with his home phone number...)
