There will be five tracks in the ter

The cars will have doors on the sides

cars on the Brooklyn bridge trains.
Passengers will not be crowded on

arriving will alight on one side of the

peared in Pittsburg newspapers inviting
prospective bridegrooms TO apply to
Youngstown people. who will arrange
everything to conform to Ohio laws-li-
censes, cergymen, carriages secured with
out embarrassment; everything confiden-
tial"
Here is letter that was received in
reply to an answer to the advertisement:

in readiness for you when you arrive.
You will note that 1t is not necessary
to get parents consent when bride-to-be is

ing: Enclosed you will find a little badge
which you will wear on the right lapel Of
