J. w. Grant Writes Interestingly of
His Quest for Wife.


ing to some of our doubling co-tem-
poraries to know that P. o. order
for S240 in payment of the advertise
ing bill, was enclosed.
We take the liberty of publishing
his letter in full, as follows
Truckee, California, June 30, 1909.
To the Editor, Gloucester County Dem
ocrat, Woodbury., N. ].
Dear Sir: As result of the adver-
tisement that | placed in several
Eastern papers / am receiving LETT
ters at the rate of two hundred day
from all over the country. This is
the reason that / have not been able
to communicate with you until now.
This advertisement has been taken up
by other papers as you can see by the
enclosed clippings and is growing like
SNOWFALL rolling down hill. It looks
as if | was going to be showed under
as | have not the least doubt that
will receive twenty-five thousand an
swers from as many ladies in the
United States and Canada. The Hearst
papers have got hold of it and must
have given me circulation of two of
three million copies. Other papers of
large circulation are boosting the
good work along.
/ am receiving hundreds and hum
1reds of letters from refined educated,
deserving, sensible and lovable women
any one of whom would make an ex-
cellent wife for any reasonable man.
Letters of the highest order come from
school teachers, business women,
trained nurses, college graduates and
others. Some write the most beauti-
full letters that l ever saw. Four
fifths of the girls and women who
have honored me with their communi-
cations are finely educated, refined
and modest. A very small per cent.
come from illiterate or ignorant peo
pie. Ninety per cent. are good house,
keepers and good cooks. Nearly all
of the writer's want good, upright,
honest, Industrious man for a hus-
band and will have none other. Very
few care to marry just for money and
a home alone but they want some one
to love and take care of them for all
time. Very few are mercenary. It
is simply astounding to know that
there are so many women of the right
kind who lack proper mates. The
Eastern man must be awful slow not
to realize what he is missing when he
allows so many fine women to go West
for husbands. Many of these excel
lent women are taking the matter in
to their own hands and are settling
the question for themselves.
Many who write ask me why have
advertised for wife in the Eastern
papers. My reason is simply this-I
have always said that / would never
marry until | was able to support a
wife in comfort Now that the time
has arrived and I am able to do so |
have been giving the subject good
deal of consideration. I do not want
a woman who is gad-about, a but
terfiy of fashion or gossip. | want
one of the good. old-fashioned, sem
sible, home-loving and lovable girls
that | used to know and hear about
when | was boy. | have an idea
that they are still to be found in the
Eastern or Middle States in some of
the smaller towns, villages or in the
country. You know what kind OF
woman mean. One who will think
more of her home and family than
anything else on earth One who is
looked up to and worshiped by all
who know her / am sure that I am
receiving letters from this kind Of a
woman but the puzzle is to pick her
Qut llOl1l dAA tllC 5O00 oA4Nos ~ oN~S4--A'
odd to be able to select your wife from
thousands of excellent women whom
you are in communication with but
/ will find her if it takes all Summer.
BY a process of elimination / am ser
Iecting those letters that look good
and the writer's appear to be honest
in what they say. Will then sift these
down tos smaller number and no
doubt "She" will appear. When |
have found number that will come
up to specifications | will make trip
around the circle and let them have
look at me- If l should suit Her"
then the search is ended. Whoever
she is, she may have all possess and
she may build her own home after her
own ideas and take care OF it the best
she knows how. ALI that | ask and
expect is that she will put three good
meals on the table daily and keep the
home and herself neat and tidy. She
shall not be a household drudge but
have plenty of help to take care of a
house properly. Plenty of refined
amusement will be provided for her
and a trip to the Yellowstone, the
Lakes. the mountains or the ocean
once or twice year will be taken.
This is the fashion in which | want
to 60 down life's pathway Win the
woman of my choice. am certain
that / can make no mistake by this
plan and do not think marriage viii
be failure in this case. am not an
ignorant man fyou can probably gath
ssar from this letter. who has attained
yden wealth and who wants house
IA along. + have been great
-eader lof the best books that | could
find; have Travelled some" over two
continents and believe | am fitting
mate to such woman as have de-
scribed. Some seem to think that |
am doing this just for Amusement but
this is a serious matter with me and
am going about it in my own way
am sure the results will be satis-
factory
Just t6 show you that am having
plenty OF help in this search will ray
