at the Statler."
That Is the kind OF advertising
that cant be bought with money,
and the kind that has helped 10
make the new Detroit hostelry an
ectuality. For tho Statler repu-
tation for completeness OF service
at the lowest possible cost was es-
tablished long before the old Bag
ley homestead was dreamed OF as
possible hotel site. and the new en-
terprise Is merely the latest de-
velopment OF the Statler idea,

Here are few features OF the
Hotel Statler that will afford some
idea OF just what r. meant by Stat.

Statler sells you when you put your
name on his register:
A forced ventilation system IL
employed, whereby used air Is con-
(, stantly being expelled and replaced
by fresh air. An ozonizing equip
ment lnsures the purity OF every
foot OF air: after incoming air Is
washed, filtered and heated eor
cooled) II passes through an ozon-
izer where any Impurities OF any
nature which might remain are
eliminated or rendered harmless.
The system involves the use OF nu-
merous big fans. motors, and thou

diningrooms. serving all OF them

recent test washed 500 pieces, as
brought from the tables, including
silverware. crockery and glasses, in
20 minutes. Each piece Is washed
separately and does not come In
contact with any other piece until
