Wanted ads mix of services and goods in San Antonio
A garbled San Antonio newspaper listing shows many small advertisements. It includes wants for rags and clean materials, piano manufacturers and repairs, four rents and painted spaces, contractors, clairvoyants, livestock for sale, ready rock gravel, vehicles and wagons, lost and found items, and school offers, all in a busy commercial classifieds section. The text is heavily corrupted with misspellings and partial names, but reveals a typical early 20th century city classifieds page with local tradesmen, pet notices, and personal services.
