Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-01-04

While to the rear of these is a separ-
ate reading and writing room. Be.
sides these are the hotel offices, key
room, ETC., and here the four elevators
and stairways are placed.
1t is to the basement and its fit
tlngs, however, that Mr.. Mills has de-
voted especial attention, and here
many of the latest devices of modern
motel science will be found installed.
Inc basement is high one. Its
floor is only five feet below the street
level, thus insuring plenty of light
and air. Here are situated the res
taurant and kitchens, the bakeshop,
the refrigerting plant, the baggage
room, the servants dining room.
barber shop, washroom, toilets, etc.
In addition there are thirty shower
baths and thirty-five water closets.
The restaurant extends the whole
depth of the hotel, 100 feet by IT'S
feet, and will seat over 400 people at
a time. Here regular dinner will be
served for fifteen cents, while meals a
la carte can be obtained at cost price.
TWO rolls and a cup of coffee for ex-
ample will cost the guest five cents,
with other dishes in proportion. The
restaurants in the various Mills
hotels are always run with the idea of
giving the guests food which is
wholesome and palatable at cost and
making on profit. The same plan will
be in vogue here.
One feature of the refrigerator
plant will be that it will not only pro-
vide ice boxes and cold storage, but
| VIII furnish ice water throughout the
hotel. The private laundry, where
the guest can strip and wash his own
clothes and dry and don them, will
also be in the basement. 1t is the
| desire of Mr.. Mills, in TACT, that Mills
Hotel No. 5, win have everything that
has been found lacking in the two
| former enterprises.
Below the basement will be the eel
lar which will contain the electric
lighting plant, cold storage room,
| large enough to hold twenty carloads
OF vegetables, engine room, additional
baggage rooms, etc.
| The arrangement of the fourteen
upper floors will be identical. There
will be two large outside and two
large inside courts, which will give
| light and air to every room. There
will not be a dark room in the hotel
On each floor there will be 156 rooms
Each will be 6 feet by feet inches
I with the corner rooms at trife larg.
er. Each room will be lighted by
electric light and furnished with iron
bedstead, chair and chifonnier. The
beds will be provided with a spring
and hair mattress, and the bedding
| will be of the best.
In the rear outside court is a separ-
| ate building connected with the rest
of the hotel by passageways between
the elevator shafts. Here, on each
| floor, are the washrooms and toilets,
which are thus shut off from the hotel
proper. The plumbing will be mod
ern and sanitary in every respect.
The floors will all be of cement. Thus
there can be no leakage or chance to
flood the hotel proper. The prices of
| the rooms have not been exactly set
| tied upon as yet, but will be either
20 or 30 cents a night, with the cor
| ner rooms a trife higher. The roof
will be finished fiat with a penthouse
! for disinfecting and sterilizing pur-
| poses.
The new hotel will require upward
of one hundred employees.
