How to cite this ad

“Would like to meet girl to go hiking to Portland.” Personal advertisement, Ogden Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah), September 29, 1922, p. 15. Transcribed in The Personals Archive, AseeksB, https://www.aseeksb.com/archive/1922-ogden-standard-examiner-hiking-to-portland.html.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. The first digit of the house number is read from the page image; the newspaper's machine-read text has it as 6, and the trailing printer's code 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.
