THE DYCKMAN HOUSE.
In detailed review of Paw Paw as a
commercial and manufacturing center, with
elaborate comments upon her various insti-
tutions worthy of mention, there are none
more appropriate for especial attention, or
which afford more interest TO travellers who
are called to this city in the transaction of
business or for pleasure, than our places of
accommodation, the hotels. AS a business
center, Paw Paw commands a position that
essentially calls for Accommodations of good
quality and good management. In this
respect our city will be found capable of
maintaining reputation equal to that of any
other place of the same size in the possession
of hotel that is first class in its appoint
ments and management. In support of
these assertions we have only to refer to the
Dyckman House.
While under control of the present
management, the Dyckman House has
achieved a position in the consideration of
the public that ranks it the equal of any
contemporaneous establishment in the state,
rejecting credit upon the ability that con-
ducts it. Ever since coming into the hands
of the present proprietor, Mr.. Nj. Longwell,
it has been unanimously regarded not only
as most pleasant and convenient resort for
the travelling public, but as one of the most
home-like and comfortable hotels in the
state, where all are entertained in pleasant
manner and where ladies, travelling alone,
can receive the courtesy and attention their
position demands. For everything that per-
tains to the comfort and well-being of its
guests, this house is unsurpassed. Ladies
and gentlemen visiting Paw Paw either ON
business or for pleasure will find at this hotel
the most polite attendants and a table that
is surpassed by no house in the country,
being supplied with the choicest viands the
market affords, and what is equally impor-
tant, has q corps of the most experienced
cooks as well as polite and attentive walters.
Every department of the house is in COM
plete repair and supplied with the modern
conveniences.
The Dyckman House is very pleasantly
located on the corner of Main and Kalama-
zoo streets, in the heart of the business part
of the city, being only half block from the
Court House.
This house contains about 40 compart-
ments besides spacious and elegant parlor
and drawing room, suites of rooms for the
accommodation of guests, and large and well
lighted sample rooms. The dining room,
sample rooms and office are located on the
ground floor. That the present, proprietor,
MIR. j. M. Longwell has run the house to the
entire satisfaction of the travelling public is
clearly shown by the constantly increasing
patronage. The proprietor is ably assisted by
his son, Mr.. Fred Longwell, who acts as head
clerk and, together with their assistants,
leave nothing undone that will add to thc
comfort of their guests.
Mr.. Longwell is one of the few who know
how to run hotel and when one stops at
the Dyckman house, there is no doubt but
he will make it his headquarters when visit
ing the city again.
A fine billiard room and first class bar are
also connected with the house which are
presided over by Mr.. Will Strowbridge This
gentleman is an artist in his way, clever and
obliging and never allows a patron to 90
away dissatisfied
Mr.. Longwell possesses an advantage over
most hotel men in supplying his tables with
the choicest meats, using none but what is
killed expressly for his own market, which
is managed by Mr.. Fred Cookbook. Great
care is exercised in buying only the best
stock and the steaks and roasts will always
be found tender and juicy.
In connection with the hotel, Mr.. Long
well has one of the best livery and feed sta.
bles in this section, where will be found
the best of accommodations for your horses,
and if you need livery, we know of no
better place to get one. His turn-outs are
all good, mostly new and first class in every
respect His charges are always reasonable.
Travelling men and all others needing con-
veyances cannot do better than call on the
Dyckman House stables. Mr.. Will Holt
has charge of this department and is accom-
modating and obliging to all.
Mr.. Honeywell also runs hack, bus and
baggage line for the convenience of his
guests and all orders left at the Office will
receive prompt attention and be courteously
attended to by Mr.. Ed. Arnold, who has
this department in charge.
AS one of the old land marks of our viii
lage and an emblem Of it's past history and
present prosperity, We are proud to refer
you to the Dyckman House. 1t has the
best location in the city and does the largest
business which is continually on the in
crease, and is one of the pleasan.e,t places to
stop at in southern Michigan.
