Ah I see. It’s true that I’ve never read a full newspaper, but I know these mini ad boxes exist. English is not my native language, perhaps that is why I didn’t know the term. I though classified as in secret.

Think of them as what people did before Craigslist (or I guess Facebook Marketplace these days).
