Dad Spends $900 on Newspaper Dating Ad for His Son
Quote:
Salt Lake City bachelor Baron Brooks was surprised to learn that his father paid $900 on a dating advertisement that he wrote on Baron’s behalf in the Coeur d’Alene Press.
In the ad, Baron’s father, Arthur of Beverly Hills, Calif., indicates important qualities and “musts” these potential daughters-in-law must have. Arthur describes Baron as “48 years old, live in Salt Lake City, and never been married.” While pictures are a necessity on newspaper dating ads, Arthur Brooks’ photograph of his son is admittedly outdated. The ad says, “I look just like my picture except now I have gray hair.”
