The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1903-05-07
A PLAN WHICH ALL INTEND.
ING VISITORS SHOULD TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF.

! Such is the situ aiion confronting
the citizens of St. Louis, when too
late to obtain the construction of
anything of permanent nature for
the housing and feeding OF their ex-
peeted viattors. that the Exposition
, officials, from Gov. Francis down
are appealing 10 the publie-spirited
capitalists of the city to do some
! thing to alleviate the stu alton.
] To do what they can, IN response
! to the appeal, few well-known gen.
/ tlemen of st. Louis have secured q
site in the Fair Grounds, and have
Z organized a company for the pur-
pose of erecting and equipping an
/ hotel to accommodate all those intend
/ ing to visit the Exposition and who
( desire to secure their quarters in
advance.
All those 10 whom this appeals can
be positively assured of resery atoms
. being made for them in such an hotel
, for the extremely low rate Of Two
/ Dollars per day for board aud lodg-
ing for as many days as they desire
to remain. The only condition be-
ing that they so signify their inten-
/ tion at once, and as a guarantee to
the Company that they will come,
send to the Cook Hotel IL Excursion
! Co, of St. Louis, the sum of Two
Dollars, who will Immediately for
ward a receipt or membership card.
( This card, upon presentation at the
hotel any time during the Fair Pc
riod, upon one weeks notice, will
entitle members To accommodations
mentioned, and be credited to their
account as so much paid on total
/ bill This Two Dollars advance
payment is required wholly. for the
/ purpose of insuring sufficient pat
rouage at this low rate, to warrant
/ the expenditure of so large an
amount necessary for the construc-
tion and equipment of buildings,
which, as must be apparent to all,
will be a total loss al close of Expo
sitiOn, or nearly so.
The hotel will be but two stories
high, and practically fire proof, To-
Gated on the highest and most de
| lightful site In the city, and being
in the FAIR Grounds its patrons will
be saved the ordeal of getting TO
and from the Fair by the already
over-taxed street car and other trans
portation companies.
The hotel will be conducted by
Mr.. Chas. NJ. Hill, Y. p, formerly
manager OF the Grand Hotel, Gin
cinnatti; Midland Hotel. Kansas
City, and Winsdor Hotel, Denver,
all leading hotels, thus assuring its
patrons every attention and comfort
possible.
No further advances or payments
will be asked or required until ar
rival at the hotel, and should any
be unable TO come because of sick
ness or other unavoidable causes,
their receipts or memberships may
be transferred by giving notice. as
only those holding such receipts will
be entitled To the privileges OF the
hotel at rates mentioned. IL must
be apparent TO all that the MEM
berships will soon be worth pre-
MUM, and all are therefore advised
10 act quickly. Clubs Of twenty or
more will be allowed a discount OF
ten per cent. on their entire bill.
