I agree, given the text of the ad, the only thing that makes sense is "junior".

I discounted Thierrys suggestion that the "squiggle" may have been entered by hand. I checked my records on the individual and he was a very powerful politician as well as businessman at that time. So I no longer discount the possibility that they may have made a manual correction to the ad. It would mean a few hundreds but not thousands so they may have thought the time investment to keep him happy was a wise move. Very interesting concept if true and a real rarity.
