Brooklyn Today: July 20, 2012
Good morning. Today is the 202nd day of the year. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of July 20, 1901, profiles a doctor who was clearly ahead of his time. The headline was “Dr. Maguire is looking for a nice young wife.” The article describes his advertisement, in which interested parties were directed to mail him a photograph along with their height, weight and age.
