3000 Euro per year, accounting for inflation, for education of young ladies. An apartment in Paris for 220 Euro per week. I like| old ads like this.

And all that set by hand, one letter at a time.

It strikes me that classifieds like this were largely unchanged for 100's of years. Never mind the content, the form of this example would not be out of place in a newspaper 150 years later or 150 years earlier. This is one from Boston in 1704, and in London they go back much earlier still.
