- LIFE - 25 Do travelers notice the difference? Few, very few, hotels have a private bath and circulating ice water with every room —as these hotels have. Yet that isn’t the big- gest difference between the Statlers and others. And few, very few, are the ho- tels which give you a morning pa° per under your door; or sell you things at the news-stands at street- store prices; or post the price of each room, printed in plain figures, in that room—as these hotels do. Those things get nearer to the essen- tial difference because they express the policies under which these houses are operated, and in which they are unique. Few, also, are the hotels which give you as wide a variety, as much choice, in restaurants and restaurant- prices, as do these houses. Besides the regular dining-rooms, each hotel maintains a cafeteria, or a lunch- counter, or both—as a more com- plete service. And few are the*hotels which maintain their properties in new condition—clean, bright, ship-shape —as these houses do. They are virtually new hotels —except that they are manned by organ- izations which are not new, but are trained, seasoned, competent. More characteristic, though, than any physical features of the building, is the personal service ren- dered you by employees. We know of no hotels which have gone so far as these in drilling into employees, everlastingly and all the time, that it’s Statler policy to give extra value and extra service, and to guarantee the satisfaction of every guest. If, though, some little thing does go wrong, you will find us ready to make prompt and satisfactory adjustment. That difference in the attitude of employee to guest is the most personal characteristic of the Statler - operated houses. It is a part—a very important part —of the extra value for your money which you get in these hotels. Do travelers notice this difference? You bet your life they do!

Twin-bed rooms (for two) are from $5.50 in Cleveland, Detroit Boston’s Hotel Statler is building: and St. Louis; from $6.50 in Buffalo, and from $7 in New York. And remember that every room in these houses has its own private bath, circulating ice water, and many other conveniences that are unusual, In the Park Square District of Boston (Columbus Ave., at Arlington and Providence Streets) construction has begun on the new Hotel Statler—which will have 1300 rooms, 1300 baths, and all the comforts and conveniences for which these hotels are world-famous. Buffalo—and Niagara The newest Hotel Statler, (1100 rooms, 1100 baths) is in Buffalo—delightfully siruated on Niagara Square.
