“Didn't you give me too much change?” FTEN and often, at the news stands in these hotels, you'll see people showing pleased surprise at finding things priced no higher than in outside stores. They expect to be charged more than the standard price when they buy in a hotel. They aren't charged more, here.

That is one of the ways, and a typical way, in which these hotels carry out the basic Statler policy of full and honest value for your money in every transaction. Some Extra Values You Get in These Hotels: Many of the newer of the country’s first-class hotels give you some of these things; but, so far as we know, the Statlers are still unique in providing all of them: Every—erery—room in these hotels has a private bath, circulating ice-water, full-length mirror, completely-equipped writing desk, reading-lamp on bed-head or portable reading- lamp, or both, pincushion (with threaded needles, buttons, etc.), besides the more usual conveniences. A morning paper is delivered free to every guest room. In each hotel is a cafeteria, or a lunch-counter, or both— in addition to its other excellent restaurants.

In every room, too, is posted a card on which is printed the We believe in the policy of one price and a price of that room square deal—and therefore mark our goods in plain figures a Boston’s Hotel Statler is Building: In the Park Square District of Boston the new Horel Sadler is building,— 1300 rooms, 1300 baths—to be opened late in 1926 Adjoining the hotel is The Statler Office Building, with 200,000 sq. ft. of desirable space for offices.
