Reward Offered For Lost Black Suitcase
Dear Tack, I lost a black suitcase with mostly children’s clothing in your city. If found, notify William Flatley at 5345 Brya dhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, California. I offer a reward and will respond immediately. We are farmers and dairymen who finish late and attend Sunday school singing at our schoolhouse. We have few books alike and wonder if a church might have old books to donate.
