Context

October 19, 1920, was a Tuesday. A chum was a close friend, and the writer asks for both, a companion and a chum. He gives no age of his own, only the range he wants, 48 to 60. No fooling meant serious replies only. For where people in Phoenix and Tucson post personal ads now, see our guide to personal ads in Phoenix and Tucson.
