Stranger in city tells readers she had only recently arrived, and without friends or family nearby, the personal column was one of the few ways to meet anyone.
Public domain in the United States: published before 1931.
Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. The Library of Congress files this page under October 16, 1908, but the page itself is headed Monday, October 19, 1908; the printed date is used here. 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.
