New York is q big town. and there's lots Of
It," remarked a visiting merchant. but there
is q good deal OF 1t that is bigger than I like.
For instance. there is the price OF living. I
stay here for two weeks buying goods, and 1
can't do it on less than IS q day for food and
shelter. 1 could go to a boarding house and
get along cheaper. but I'm not here for quite
that sort Of economy though: by gravy. a half
way decent boarding house charges as much
as the best hotel in my town. and we have o

RICH t we'll. All over this country the run OF
country hotels is 50 a day. and that is what we
are used to and What the Merchants Associa-
ton OF New York ought to provide for the
men who make It. Why don't they chip in
and build a hotel on a nice side street, close to
thousand to fifteen hundred people, with good.

streets in Washington in four years as 1 have
