Travelling men form their first estimate Of
a town BY the cha acter of its leading hotel.
So true is this that it NAV be SAID that the
growth and prosperity of many communities
have been seriously retarded by a lack of good
| hotel accommodations, while on the other hand
a town having a good hotel is certain to be
spoken of as an entcrprislng, liberal and pro-
g%ressive place. The opening of the new Scran-
ton Hotel a year ago has given our town a
frst-class house. The sleeping apartments
are exceptionally large, well lighted, %ventila-
ted and handsomely furnished. The cuisine
is excellent. The proprietor, Mr.. James A..
Miller, is a thorough hotel man and is deserv-
ing of the patronage Of commercial men and
the public generally. The drummer" will
find in the interest Of his business a large and
con, sample room.
