Help Wanted Classified Blasts From Early Washington Ads
A chaotic set of 20th century help wanted notices from a Washington listing includes male laborers, youths, and clerical roles. Listings seek colored Bob 70s, gentle salesmen, street men, woodward staff, window washers, a washington correspondent, white barber for Saturday, and boys ages 16 to 18 for floor service and shipping. Several ads request references, age, and box numbers for applications.
