Wanted! Worthy Men.

Young Man,

With the melting of the ice blockade in the northern islands of Canada, Space Peter with the backing of Squire Smith and Brown, is organizing a party to establish a permanent post for aiding and supplying merchant ships seeking to transit the newly opened North West Passage.

Famed Indian fighter and negotiator Robert Campbell and his valiant negro will be accompanying the voyage to guarantee amicable relations with the native hunters.

Provisions and salaries are not lacking. All that is in want is good men with a heart for adventure, a mind for discipline, a respect for orders and a back for hard work.

No man will be discriminated against for his religion or country of origin. We will gladly accept for equal duties and rewards the Mohammedan, Jew and Irishman.

Present yourself, bold man, during the coming fortnight, at the offices of Squire Smith and Brown and there put down your name next to the noble Robert Campbell and Space Peter, to embark on the prospect of a lifetime.

So are you volunteering? You've gotta be tough for this Mel.

Actually, I thought of this when I read that the North West passage would be open this year and I was thinking about old old newspaper adds.
