A garbled classified listing offers misc items including a motorcycle bargain from Haverford Cycle Co and various unrelated goods. Reads like a crowded ad page with broken product names, pricing, and partial descriptions, including clothing and household items.
A collage of want ads lists items for sale and trade including a toaster, mirror, cylinder parts, tools, vintage gears, a mannequin, a motorbike, a phonograph, and household goods. It notes prices, item conditions, and delivery details with mentions of city routes and potential buyers. The ad section invites readers to place free classified ads in The Post.
A long, fragmented classified page shows numerous job seekers and positions by race and gender including advertising manager, assistant, teacher, porter, bartender, cook, clerk, driver, houseman, janitor, elevator operator, and more. The listings emphasize reliable workers, experience, and references, with many boxes and contact lines for readers to respond.
Classifieds list wide demand for housework, maid, chambermaid, laundress, nurse, governess, and companion roles. Many ads seek colored and white women for day or live-in positions in private homes, offices, or flats, with varying hours, duties, and pay, including cleaning, laundry, ironing, serving, and child care.
A long, dense listing describes numerous rooms for rent across Northwest DC and adjacent wards. It highlights front rooms, alcove rooms, and suites in multiple buildings, with prices often around ten dollars per month or per week, and notes on water, heat, baths, and private family or single occupancy. Many entries indicate proximity to government buildings or transit hubs and emphasize niceness, furnishing, and harnessing shared amenities.
