Lookin' for love in old school NYC.
When the gentlemen of yesteryear weren't looking for ladies of the night at Corlears Hook or cracking open their directory of the city's top brothels, they were paving the way for future lovelorn L-train riders, with their old school version of Missed Connections. Ephemeral NY has some examples of these personals, which are from about 140 years ago. These days a "Gentleman's Salute" probably means something different on Craigslist.
