January 2, 1921, was a Sunday, and the ad had also run the day before. An oil station was a gas station. The ad doesn’t say whether the gentleman wrote it or found the purse; there is no punctuation after purse, as printed. The closing d is the paper’s insertion code. For where people in Phoenix and Tucson post missed connections now, see our guide to personal ads in Phoenix and Tucson.
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. 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.
