January 17, 1906, was a Wednesday, and the ad ran again on January 18 and 20. He offers two virtues, sober and industrious, and asks for a ranch or some means in return, and he signed it with what he wanted: Matrimony. Arizona was still a territory; it became a state in 1912.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
