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.

'Classified' as in specific they would run the ads in specific sections. All the 'Help Wanted' ads under one heading, all the 'Rooms For Rent' under another.
