Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-12

Letters are pouring in so fast on
Mayor Harper that Secretary Herbert
d. Kennedy may have to ask for
committee to assist him.
Yesterday two-score communications
reached the city hall, many from other
cities, showing that the fame of Los
Angeles is spreading through the
mayors matrimonial bureau.
Some of the letters received were as
follows:

the acquaintance of some young men
who are matrimonially inclined. Per-
haps you may know of some nice, in
dustrious fellows. We are chums and
would prefer to meet friends or chums.
One of us blonde and the other bru-

while my friend prefers smooth
faced fellow between the age of 25
and 30.

pendent, having some real estate in the
east. MISS AMELIA H."
He Prefers a Blonde
"Berkeley-Dear Mayor: Have Just
read your proposal and heartily ap-

and your assistance will be gladly re-
ceived. Would prefer a blonde about

Dear Sir-Being alone in the world
I have been devoting considerable at
tention to the work you have taken up.

besides have money in the bank.
