The McLure House-Our Leading
Hotel.

Since the re-opening Of the Mcclure
House, in this city, it has taken a
higher place than ever before, and now
stands in public estimation as one OF
the leading hotels Of the West. It's
location in the very heart Of the city,
with the street cars running to its very
doors, and within two squares OF the
Steamboat landing and the Railroad
Depot gives it great advantages that
are appreciated by the travelling public.
w. F. Goodwin, who is known as a
most efficient and superior landlord and
caterer, is the General Manager and
Superintendent. and under his eye have
been made the changes, alterations and
additions that are 30 fast giving the
Mcclure prominence over all competl-
tors for public tsvors. Mr.. Goodwin
understands bis business thoroughly.
and knows just how to make q guest
feel at home. He compels prompt and
courteous attendance, sees that every
department lacks nothing that may
add to the comfort Of his guests and
sees that the lsrder is furnished boun.
tifully with ell the delicscies OF the
markets both at home and abroad.
The Mcclure House before being re-
opened was thoroughly renovated and
fitted with new furniture from top To
bottom. Some OF the rooms are in
suites and these are luxuriously fur
uished and in style most suggestive Of
comfort. the reception rooms and
parlors are models OF convenience, beau.
ty and taste and excel anything to be
found in this portion OF the country.
The dining room is simply elegant.
1t is painted in the renaissance style, by
William Lay, Of Cincinnati, one Of the
most celebrated decorators of the Queen
Civ. The ceiling, while it lie bright
and beautiful, has nothing gaudy OF
suobbish about it, but suggests geutil.
ity and comfort.
The cuisine is in the hands Of an e1.
pert aud experienced steward and it il
the boast OF the Mcclure that its table
cannot be excelled anywhere. The ware
is all new and of very handsome pat
terms. The attendance is prompt, polite
and sufficient, and it is Mr.. Goodwip't
intention to keep it 30.
Several most convenient sample
rooms for the use Of commercial trav.
elers have been provided. The loca.
ton OF the hotel being directly In the
centre OF business, make this: house q
most desirable one for them and offers
them an opportunity to meet customers
that no other houss in Wheeling car
and one they will not be Glow to avail
themselves Of.
The arrangements for gentlemen ard
and wives or tor ladies travelling alone
are very complete and must commend
themselves to these classes Of travellers
Everything that can be done on the
part OF the Superintendent looking to
their comfort will be done.
We close this brief notice with the
assurance to the travelling public that
they will find the Mcclure in every res
pect a first class hotel, and one which
they can patronze themselves and rec
ommend to their friends. With every
thing new, clean and cozy, with urbane
clerks and CAREFUL and polite servants,
the best the markets can afford and
reasonable rates, it is impossible that
any guest Of the Mcclure House can
not ind in this hotel all the comforts
OF a home combined with all the ad-
vautages and conveniences OF q grand
hotel.
