Mothers and Fathers

MOTHERS AND FATHERS.


No matter how bad a man may be, there is one woman who can find some good in him.

Mothers seeking their lost sons may advertise absolutely free of charge. The International Brotherhood Welfare Association is constantly receiving letters from heart-broken mothers who want news of their boys. In some cases we have been successful, but in many others have failed to get trace of the lost ones.

We expect that this paper will penetrate into the jungles and nooks and corners of the country as no other paper can. We will, if necessary, run a special column for this purpose.

 

To the Editor, “Hobo News”:

In the name of mankind  I beg, probably you can do something to find my lost son, Louis Lieb, who unexplained, disappeared from home December 7, 1914. about 6 p.m. He was not addicted to drinking dissipation in any form. He was of quiet habits and spent most of his leisure time at home. He is about 25 years of age, and when he left home, wore working suit of brown and a dark raincoat. He wears eyeglasses, has a good mustache, light hair and might be recognized by a cut on and below his lip, made during an operation. He is about 5 feet 7.5 inches in height. Me and my husband have instituted a search for him, but without result up to this time.

Thanking you in advance, I hope to be thankful to you all my life. I remain, a broken hearted mother.

Get them to be good and go home, and advise the Editor, 1111 Clark Avenue, St. Louis. You could not do a better deed. Remember it is up to each one of you. All the detectives in the country cannot discover these men, but you can You want us to make this paper a success.
