Origin of the Ritz Cartons.

Like many another mighty enter
prise, the Ritz-Carlton hotels had a
modest beginning. and the whole idea
had it's orlgination in the brain Of
a Swiss farmer boy. Cesar Ritz,
whose father titled small holding.
The son, however, had larger ideas.
Taking up hotel work at the begin
ming in a very minor capacity, he de-
veloped most wonderful sense OF
color, form and taste in every re-
spect, and he brought the art OF no.
tel keeping in Europe to higher
pitch than it had ever been before.
Indeed he revolutionized hotel keep
ing in England and France, and that
revolution has gradually shown It's in
fiuence all over the world. RITES first
enterprise was the Ritz hotel in Paris,
which he started about 1897. The Sec
ond venture was the Carlton hotel OF
London, and the next was the Ritz OF
London. In each of the many Ritz
hotels already built, building or PLAN
ned for there is a separate local COM
pany which has furnished the bulk
or the whole of the money, while the
central organization, the Carlton in
vesting company,in all cases holds
the common stock and a controlling
interest. In this way, all the local
companies are made to work united
and in the interest Of all.-San Fran
