Most missed connections in the papers were written by men. This one apparently reverses it, and a year later the same paper carried a nearly mirror-image notice written by a man on the Farnam car.
Public domain in the United States: published before 1931.
Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. The trailing printer's code at the end of the ad is omitted. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
