NEARING
COMPLETION
The Salubria Springs Hotel
Will Be Ready For
Summer
Why Not Be Independent
When 1t Cost So LittleP

The Salubria Springs Hotel il
nearing completion rapidly, and the
future great resort will be ready
for pleasure and health seekers fol
the approaching season.
Mr.. Douglass Lander, the Presi'
dent of the company, was in the
city this week, and says that every
thing is moving along nicely. The
large building has been weather
boarded, the roof is on, the floors
are laid, Part of the rooms are al
ready lathed and the plasterers will
get to work in a few days.
The fare at the springs will be all
that can be desired as a man
thoroughly up in his profession has
already been engaged to take charge
as soon as the building receives the
finishing touches. The finishing of
the large dining room will be work
of art, the furniture will be the most
modern, and the hotel in all its ap-
pointments will not be whit behind
those of the most popular summer
resorts of the county.
1t is questionable as to whether
the company will be able to supply
all who make application for both
rooms and board, though they will
be able to feed everybody. But
there is a way of getting out of
such a dilemma. All you will have
to do is to buy a lot and build and
take your meals at the hotel. The
price of the lot is so small that al.
most anybody can purchase. You
need not build palace in which to
spend the summer. Just get lot
and put up a shack-almost anything
will do to protect you from the
night air and give you a place to
sleep.
Four board walls, upholstered, will
do for yourself and wife, and if you
have any children run partition
through the center. and get your
food at the hotel. Then you will be
perfectly independent. Again, il
you do not want to stay all summer
rent your house to somebody part
Of the time to help pay for it. This
is plain business sense and does moi
require a keen eye to see the advan
tages offered to the public by the
Hotel company. If the idea strikes
you favorably and you want par
ticulars, apply to or address Mr.
Douglass Lander, the President, al
Pembroke.
