Commercial Hotel. on Montgomery avenue
and Kearny street, Mr.. Holland has made
himself deservedly popular with the travel
ing public and large local clientage. He
has placed the Commercial on a footing
of which the best public-house might be
proud. Though located at the north end.
the Commercial is patroniZed by the best
class Of people. 1t will be remembered
that to this house was accorded the honor of
giving the grand banquet in honor of Gov
ernor Markham on his first arrival in this
city after his election. The general high
standing of the Commercial and the equally
high class of patronage il has secured, must
be credited entirely to Mr.. Hollands per-
sonal attention and character. which natur-
ally determine the tone OF the house.
Previous tc going into the hotel business
Mr. Holland was for twenty-five years
prosperous merchant tailor OF San Fran
cisco, and in this, as in all his business un-
dertakings. won the esteem aud confidence
of all who came in business contact with
him.
Mr.. Holland is a member OF many fra
ternal societies, prominent among them
being the A. .. U. W., OF the Olympic
Lodge, Of which order he las been treasurer
for ten years. As token of his popularity
In this capacity he carries an elegant gold
watch presented to him by the lodge in 1879.
Hotel men have, as rule, perhaps, more
OF the sprit-de-corps" than any other
class OF business men, bnt something more
than fraternal feeling is involved In the
hotel mans support of Mr.. Holland His
connection with the business gives him
thorough understanding Of the hotel inter
est, and while extremely broad aud liberal
in his ideas any ordinance favorable to that
interest would naturally secure his warm
advocacy and support.
Business men in general and hotel men In
particular cannot do better than to vote for
Edward Holland for Supervisor of the First
Ward, and to secure as many votes for him
as poss bic before the day of election.
