May 22, 1910, was a Sunday. He puts his age and his worth side by side, 35 and $35,000, and offers references, as in a business deal. A maid meant an unmarried woman.

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.
