# Allerton Club Residences Advertisement This page is primarily an **advertisement** for the Allerton Club Residences, a residential hotel chain operating in New York, Chicago, and Cleveland in the early 20th century. The illustration shows three well-dressed men and one woman in elegant attire gathered under a tent, accompanying a sales pitch. The quoted text uses humor to market the service: "This play clearly proves that you get only what you pay for. But—there are exceptions. I, for instance, live in nine rooms—and pay for one—at The Allerton." The joke satirizes the unusual value proposition of club residences: residents could occupy multiple rooms while only paying for one, presenting this as an exceptional financial advantage compared to typical market exchanges. The ad emphasizes rates of $12-$22 weekly with no initiation fees or dues.
