BUTTONS are like that / You're climbing into your last clean shirt — racing against time to keep an appointment. And zip! A button snaps... flies across the room . . . scuttles under the bed. As with malice aforethought, it’s left a location on your shirt decid- edly open to public inspection. If it happens in a Statler room, you needn't raise your blood pressure, phone frantically for the housekeeper or curse the way of buttons. Merely pick up a threaded needle from your pincushion, select a new button from the assort- ment and — with experience born of stern necessity — bully a new button into place. Providing every Statler dresser with a well-supplied pin- cushion is just one of the pleasant ways in which we antici- pate emergency needs and every-day wants —just as we provide expert valet service and efficient laundries in all our houses to give you one-day service. This thoughtfulness is reflected in other conveniences: The morning newspaper that’s slid deftly under your door, the private bathroom with shower, circulating ice water, radio reception and bed-head reading lamp with every room. Our guests appreciate these services, even as they appre- ciate the quiet, courteous attention of our employ And most of them realize that it was the Statlers who first pro- vided these innovations, which are now necessities in the Modern Hotel.
