Domestic workers sought in Washington area job ads
A dense wartime era job advertising page lists numerous positions for chambermaids, cooks, waitresses, houseworkers, and related domestic roles. Listings specify white and colored applicants, required references, stay-night terms, and locations around Northwest Washington streets.
Miscellaneous For Sale Items From A Bustling Shopfront
An old classified page lists a mix of items for sale and wants: pianos in various conditions, a phonograph, gramophone records, a delavere wagon, bicycles, furniture including dining sets, wardrobes, beds, and chests, a baby carriage, an Edison moving picture machine, rugs, curtains, sewing machines, and hardware. Insurance of terms variations and prices appear, with contact instructions and locations scattered.
Found Hound Dog and Job Ad Fragments
Fragmentary notice describes a found male hound dog with tag number Oe 126 Wyke Street NE and includes stray listing style lines for various employment and domestic help positions. The garbled text references a butcher shop, a kidney something medical ad, and a Watt Warner related name, all in a rough classified style.
