# Allerton Club Residences Advertisement This is an advertisement for the Allerton Club Residences, upscale residential hotels in New York, Chicago, and Cleveland. The illustration depicts three men in a comedic scene with luggage and skis, suggesting winter travel or leisure. The accompanying dialogue plays on poker terminology as a sales pitch: "A full house beats 3-of-a-kind, doesn't it?" / "In poker, yes—but no poker hand can equal these three" / "What are they?" / "Allerton Club Residences, in New York, Chicago and Cleveland." The joke equates the three residence locations with an unbeatable poker hand, humorously arguing that access to multiple club locations across major cities is a superior "winning combination" for the resident. The rates ($12 to $22 weekly, $3.00, $3.50 transient rates) and "no initiation fees" are highlighted to emphasize value.
