Context

July 6, 1902, was a Sunday, and her ad ran again a week later, on July 13. It ran directly below a middle-aged gentleman’s ad at X-123, in nearly the same words. The same column carried a search for an American gentleman out of Denver. For where people in Denver post personal ads now, see our guide to personal ads in Denver.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined.
