Typical was this classified ad in an 1836 newspaper: WANTED-- An English or American woman, that understands cooking, and to assist in the work generally if wished; also a girl to do chamber work. None need apply without a recommendation from their last place. IRISH PEOPLE need not apply, nor anyone who will not arise at 6 o'clock, as the work is light and the wages are sure. Inquire 359 Broadway. Ed O'Donnell http://www.edwardtodonnell.com/books_writings_books_1001things.htm
