Note the year... even in the old days, there were "personal" want ads....
From the Star and Banner (Gettysburg, Pa.), 15 December 1854, page 3:
"IN THE MARKET"
A young man whose wants in every other particular have been supplied, desires to form a matrimonial alliance for the purpose of securing himself complete happiness. His vocation enables him to support a wife in a proper manner; and he fancies he can secure comfort to any one who will confide her welfare to his keeping. He is in his 25th year, a good height, and passably good looking. He desires a young lady younger than himself, equal in personal appearance, one possessing a good education, and who understands something about household affairs. Communications will be perfectly confidential. Address.
