.GADSDEN HAS HOTEL THAT RANKS HIGH
 AMONG THE LEADERS
Adolph Reich Has Made Some Remarkable Changes in the Well Known
 Printup
By CLYDE w. ENNIS

Gadsden, July s.-(Special.) At a cost of many thousands of dollars, Adolph Reich,
 owner of the Printup hotel. is arranging for the travellers to this section one of the most modern and up-to-date hotels of the entire south. Just at this time the
 hotel is having arranged 40 new rooms,
 ca oh with every modern attachment, and
 MT. Reich is on a visit to the Tutwiler in Bil mingham getting some ideas for in- corporation.
 Not very long ago MT. Reich arranged
 on the ground floor of the hotel modern cafe, which is not only a credit to this section, but 1t Is a place of more than usual interest to travellers. In fact, the surprises that are secured here have
 more than a score of times caused pass ers-by to finger for few days. The cafe is done in rose DuBarry and cream, not so different in trea tment from the Tutwiler ballroom. Mr. Reich, however did not know that the Tutwiler contem- plated that dec6ration when he contract ed here. although ne is not inclined to make any changes on that account. The cafe is furnished with fixtures that are restful in treatment and which excite din- CTS to finger throughout their meals. The place is cooled with electric fans done in cream to match the central decoration panels.
 The china and the silver ordered by Mr Reich bear the monogram of the Printup, and are worthy of any hotel in this state. A great deal of thought was given to the kitchen. The result is that the Prntup has easily the most modern kitchen of any hotel located in the smaller
 cities of the state, and 1t will compare xtr{t l, hoe f,, ha 1ore oIff is floored with cement. The drainage is
 unusually good, while the equipment is all that the most eXacting chef could de- | mand. The place is well lighted, is cooled with tremendous exhaust fans and is cleanly to the last word.
 The cafe is made more attractive by an orchestra, which plays the most catchy
 largo music to be heard north of the Birmingham Newspaper club. The belief is entertained by the most hopeful lead CTS of Gadsden social life that there will be arranged within comparatively short time tango parties by MT. Reich at the cafe during dinner hours
 The unusually fine service at the Print up, the courtesy and the thoughtfulness oi the management. the equipment of the place and the comfortable surroundings offered are pro positions which are appre-
 ciated not only by local persons but by those vast numbers of travellers be-
 tween BlrmlnSnam ana other points. My faith in Gadsden is unbounded," said MT. Reich yesterday. T have prac- tically every cent that I possess here.
 The people of Gadsden have been good to
 me. have done nothing more than to
 equip cur hotel in su3h a way as to make comfortable those patrons that favor us
 with their patronage. At the same time
 appreciate the fact that the citizens
 of Gadsden have no fault to find with the
 few detailed Improvements that we have made through their kindness, and that of our transient guests, been able to make from time to time. Gadsden is growing
 as we all admit. The .raffic between Bir-
 II ingham and points north by automobile is constantly on the up grade. Travellers
 are coming here in ceaseless volume, and
 1t Is not only profitable but our duty to
 make comfortable th )se persons. This
 work that some persons have been
 gccd to commend in connection with the
 Frintup has been made possible by reason
 of the growth of this city. Again it Is
 lyrical of the york that is constantly
 going on here by all lines of endeavor to
 make Gadsden more attractive. We have
 gccd water, gocd living conditions, pro-
 eressive merchants, the most beautiful
 girls and the most aggressive civic spirit
 of any of the smaller cities On this
 score Gadsden is sure to be like a cer-
 tain auto tire-''best in the long run"

 Reich to the beautiful girls is ad-
 n,itted and needs 1o substantation)
