Only to those who put up" after
Monday at the Hotel Ansley VIII 1t
be given in fullest measure to say,
with Shenstone, that they have found
LIES warmest welcome at an inn"
At least, the builder and the lessee
and the press agent have endeavored
to make It even so, and the very few
favored persons permitted to inspect
the building and its appointments in
advance of the opening agree they
planned wisely and builded well.
When the Ansley, Atlanta's newest
hosiery, opens it's doors to guests on
Monday, 1t will be unexcelled among
the inns Of the country for efficiency,
service, accommodations, equipment
and modernity Of it's appointments.
No detail was overlooked in the plan
ming; no expense was spared in the
building.
Banquet Hall Seats 500.
With its banquet room seating 500,
its rathskeller accommodating 300
and it's hundreds Of rooms supplied
with fresh Uttered air continuously;
with its costly historical mural deco
rations each a work of art, the sump-
tuous furnishings Of It's rooms and
suites and its perfect service system,
the Ansley will be without superior
for business, conveniences and safety.
