Jane – 1 Cent Reward
Jane – 1 Cent Reward
Note the use of the term, “bound girl” in the advertisement. This could have several meanings during this era. Sometimes it refers to taking in an orphan or someone to serve as an apprentice to learn some type of skill, or a servant “bound to” service for a period of time. Or, the subscriber might have simply used it to infer “Jane” was a slave. The reward of “1 Cent” is also unusual when compared to other notices.
