NEED BE WIDOWS NO MORE
Husbands Furnished by a Topeka, Kan., Bureau.
There ought to be no trouble for a Kansas widow to secure a husband these days, since a company has been established at the Kansas state capital, the purpose of which is to furnish husbands to those widowed ones who are desirous of taking another chance in the matrimonial field. The widow doesn't have to be young. It's not necessary that she be extremely fair to look upon. Her bank account must not necessarily be large, although that would help. All that is required is that she express a desire to marry again and indicate whether or not she would consider an offer of marriage from a "respectable, good honest man."
