Classified want ad — Mrs. Wm. R. Hoffmann, 631 Nolan; San Antonio Light, 26 Oct 1911, page 14

The San Antonio Light for Thursday, 26 October 1911 (page 14) carries a short “Wanted” line for domestic help at 631 Nolan Street, placed in the name of Mrs. Wm. R. Hoffmann — a household-level trace alongside the coffee business materials elsewhere in this archive. The ad’s racial qualification matches common early-20th-century classified practice; it is reproduced here verbatim for historical documentation.
