(Fauquier County Democrat, War
renton, Va, July 81
At the annual inspection of hotels
for 1915, conducted by the Depart
ment Of Health Of Virginia, and in
charge Of Dr.. J. Il. Booth, the War
rem Green Hotel. Warrenton, Va,
Daniel NJ. Alexander, proprietor, was
awarded a gold seal certificate upon
it's sanitary conditions, and but for
one small eXceptiOn-that of paper
drinking cupS-Mr. AleXander's rat
ing would have reached 100 per cent.
We learn that the average hotel
of the small town seldom is rated
beyond 20, so by comparison we find
our local hoStelry to be one OF the
leading hotels in the State. The GER
tilicate issued by the Commonwealth
OF Virginia, Department Of Health,
reads as follows:
TO all whom these Presents shall
Come-Greeting: This certifies that
the Warren Green Hotel, Warrentoa,
Va, d. NJ. Alexander, proprietor, has
this day been inspected as prescrib-
ed by law and found to conform to
all requirements thereof
"Ennion G.. Williams,
state Commissioner of Health
j.. Thomson Booth NJ. D.,
''lnspector
"June 9, 1915. No. C-l22."
We can recall to mind the time
when the Warren Green Hotel was
hardly regarded as Il leading hotel of
the State, when the accommodations
and convcnences were meagcr nd
limited, and when a Soiourn of sc,e-
raj days was about all the average
transient guest could endure. Dur
ing the season Of summer boarders,
or during the hunting season, the
MOTEL as place TO stay was a sec
ondary consideration. This, be it
said, was some years ago, and
long before the present manager, Mr..
Alexander, was at it's head; also be-
fore the present owners, Joseph and
Herman ullman, improved the build
ing and ground to the extent they
have. AS it now is, the Warren
Green is often taxed to its utmost
capacity to accommodate the tran
Sicnt guests. We learned only re-
Gently from travelling man that a
number of drummers go to no odds
in their working or on their trip to
make Warrenton for the weekend
or overnight This speaks for the
comfort Of the hotel and the service.
For number Of years the hotel has
had large number of permanent
guests who remain year in and year
out. 1t is no unusual sight on Sun
day evenings to see the attractive
and up-to-date dining room, with its
corps OF efficient walters and its
splendid service, filled to it's utmost
capacity, many guests and patrons
being the local people. If never
failing courtesy, kindness and con-
sideration have any part in making
hotel successful, it is not hard to
see why the Warren Green Iiotel,
with d. NJ. Alexander as proprietor,
has risen to what it is, md classed
among the leading hotels of small
towns.
Warrenton now has a hotel OF
which it can be proud, and Mr.. Alex
ander can Justly claim his share of
the donors in being awarded the
gold seal certificate Of the Sta,e
Health Department. There is 20
detail OF the hotel life with which
Mr.. Alexander is not thoroughly fa-
miiiar, and with which he does not
keep abreast each day. His per-
sonal supervision is given each de-
partment, which is one reason why
his hotel is justly favored with the
splendid patronage which it has
earned and now enjoys. Would that
there were more Warren Greens in
/ the State.
