Some styles of writing and speech have their own special grammar rules, often because of the need to save space or time.
Advertisements and Instructions
Small ads and instructions often leave out articles, subject or object pronouns, forms of be, and prepositions.
Examples:
Single man looking for flat Oxford Area. Phone 806127 weekends.
Job needed urgently. Will do anything legal. Call 312654.
Pour mixture into large saucepan, heat until boiling, then add three pounds sugar and leave on low heat for 45 minutes.
