its proprietor ever quit spending money

tors, furniture men and carpet men have
been busy from early morn until late at
night decorating, painting and putting
down new and elegant Administer and
Royal Wilton velvet carpets and INSTALL
ing new furniture and today the halls
and guest chambers OF the Albany are
far superior to that of any hotel in the
west. Everyone who visits Denver
whether stopping at hotel or with

ing their stay and for the excellence of
its service and food served IN its five
restaurants, the Albany stands not only
in she lead and for the past few months
