The following advertisement appeared in Passo Fundo’s (Brazil) Diario da Manha:
“To my friends and interested parties I announce that I have dissolved the marriage contract which I had with Senhorita Silse Schenkel. At the same time I wish to announce my substitution in the heart of said Senhorita by Senhor Arnaldo Schmidt. I want to thank Senhorita Silse and her worthy parents for the consideration, they have always shown me, and to present in anticipation my wishes for much happiness to my friend, Arnaldo Schmidt, for whom I wish a promising future.”
