The Palace reflects credit upon Waco,

sacrificing, noble ladies OF Waco who
have decorated and adorned It. upon
the skill OF General Manager Milward

mannRement OF it's officers. It's doors
are now open TO Waco, to Texas and TO
the world, and general Invitation is
extended TO visit It, with the we'll
grounded confidence that the visit Will
be one OF profit and pleasure.
