A Matrimonial Agent Captures a Rich Husband and Retires from Business.
Mamie Marie Schultz, a matrimonial agent, outwits the police and
postal authorities after being raided and broken up, moves to other
quarters, continues business, finds a rich man seeking a wife among
her patrons and marries him.
September 11, the German-American Agency, run by Mamie Marie Schultz,
3150 Calumet avenue, was raided by Detective Wooldridge, the
literature seized and destroyed. Mamie Marie Schultz was fined $25
by Justice Hurley. The evidence obtained was submitted to the postal
authorities for action.
Mamie Marie Schultz fled to Oak Park, where she continued her
matrimonial agency. After she moved to Oak Park she was notified "by
order of the town board" to vacate, but she laughed at the order and
enjoyed the newspaper notoriety she attained, for it only increased
her business. It is said she made thousands of dollars out of her
matrimonial agency.
With a stealth that is characteristic of his art, Cupid has
accomplished what Oak Park officials had been trying to do for two
years. He has closed out the Oak Park matrimonial agency by making a
victim of his promoter in that vicinity, Marie Schultz, manager of the
matchmakers' concern.
The postmaster, United States marshal and several of the town officers
yesterday received letters signed "Mrs. J. D. Edwards," announcing
that Marie Schultz "had been caught in her own net" and had deserted
the village for a "palatial" home in Seattle, Wash., where her new
husband, J. D. Edwards, is a wealthy lumber dealer.
