Excerpt from Handbook, River Plate Republics: Comprising Buenos Ayres and the Provinces of the Argentine Republic and the Republics of Uruguay and Paraguay

The River Plate offers a fine field for immigrants, as is proved by the thousands of Europeans here who have gained fortune and position during the last twenty years. It is, however, absolutely necessary to bear in mind the classes of emigrants most needed in a new country: -

1st. Farm servants; unmarried men, of strong constitutions, accustomed to country life, will find immediate employment at 30l. per annum, being found in house, provisions, horses, &c. After two or three years, they usually get a flock of sheep with third profits, and ultimately become independent farmers.

2nd. Cooks and housemaids; unmarried women at once get situations in native or foreign families, at 35l. to 55l. per annum. They often get married to the above class of sheep-farmers.

3rd. Young married couples; when unencumbered with family, this class is in greater demand than any other. The husband as sheep-peon or gardener, and the wife as cook. If they hire on an estancia in Buenos Ayres their joint wages may be calculated at 50l. to 60l. per annum, but if they go to Banda Oriental, Entre Rios, or the other provinces, they will earn much more.

No passport is required on landing in the River Plate, but if the emigrant has no friends here, it would be well for him to bring a certificate of baptism or other document showing his name and nationality.
