Love For Sale: Personal Ads From the 19th Century
An Orphan Preferred
Matrimonial. — A respectable American bachelor, forty-five years of age, intelligent, sober, graceful, and affectionate, is desirous of immediately marrying some neat, plain, economical woman, between the ages of thirty and fifty. An orphan preferred. None that are strictly wealthy need answer, as the advertiser entertains an unconquerable aversion to every millionaire beauty. Address Alonzo Blossom, Union square Post office, New York.
