Here is the NEWEST Hotel Statler— on Niagara Square, where Delaware Avenue begins — in BUFFALO which city was the home of the first Hotel Statler, now known as Hotel Buffalo. The old Hotel Iroquois is closed, and its building converted into stores and offices. To This newest Statler is luxurious and beautiful, em- bodying the results of all the Statler experience in hotel-building. Every room has private bath, (97% have both tub and shower), circulating ice-water, and the Statler service-door, (which enables employees to call for and deliver clothes to be pressed, shoes to be polished, etc., without seeing you). There are three excellent restaurants besides a cafeteria and a lunch counter; a complete Turkish bath with swimming pool; a library, a 24-chair barber-shop; a ball room and convention hall; many private dining rooms of various sizes; two pipe-organs; a floor of sample rooms; ample facilities for handling large or small conventions with a minimum of inconvenience to other guests; a 600-car garage with a clever system of double ramps. Rates are from $3.50 per day for one person, $5.50 for two; twin-bed rooms (for two) from $7; there are 104 parlor suites at various prices.

Statler Service is Guaranteed We guarantee that our employees will handle all transac- tions with our guests (and with each other) in the spirit of the golden rule—of treating the guest as the employee would like to be treated if their positions were reversed. We guarantee that every employee will go to the limit of his authority to satisfy the guest whom he is serving; and that if he cannot satisfy him he will immediately take him to his superior. From this time on, therefore, if you have cause for com- plaint in any of our houses, and if the management of that house fails to give you the satisfaction which this guarantee promises, the transaction should then become a personal matter between you and me. You will confer a favor upon us if you will write to me a statement of the case, and depend upon me to make good my promise. I can’t personally check all the work of 6,000 employees, and there is no need that I should do so; but when our promises aren't kept, I want to know it.
