[Highland Park] For Sale - Advantage Heartworm and Flea Treatment for Dogs
by Rob Nichols 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hello Neighbors, I have a 6 month supply of Advantage Multi for Dogs (20-55 lbs). It's a topical solution that works for both heartworm prevention and as a flea repellent/killer (does not work for ticks). I don't need it anymore. It retails for about $80 for a 6 month supply, but I'll take $40 for it. Just don't want it to go to waste and want someone with a dog to be able to use it. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers, Rob N. Saint Clair Street

[Highland Park] Free sink, medicine cabinet, and light fixture
by Carol Nichols 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi fellow HPers, I have three things I'd really like to get rid of-- free, you haul. If you'd like any of these, let me know when you can pick them up and I will send you my address. If anything isn't claimed by Saturday, they're going out by the street during the yard sale with FREE signs on them. The items are: - Sink and cabinet. White sink, light brown cabinets (not as dark as it looks in this picture, see the picture of the medicine cabinet for a more accurate color). I have the hardware for the two drawers to match the doors, it's just not attached. Measures 37" w x 32" h x 18 3/4" d [image: sink.jpg] - Medicine cabinet Same color as the sink cabinets. 3 mirrored panels. 2 adjustable shelves inside. Measures 34 3/4" w x 28 1/2" h x 4 1/2" d [image: medicine-cabinet.jpg] - Ceiling light fixture I personally think this is the ugliest light fixture I've ever seen. A friend described it as looking like it belonged in a frat house. Please take this off my hands-- would be great for a "Pillow Talk"-esque decorating prank. Has 4 globes coming off of 4 spokes of black metal and between them are 4 spokes of brown wood that is not quite as dark as it looks in the picture. Measures about 21" square. [image: ceiling-light-fixture.jpg] Thanks so much! -Carol
