M. ANDREASEN 90
OF TRENTON A
LEADING MERCHANT

M. Andreasen, manager of the lead
ing grocery store in Trenton. boasts
that no one in the valley can beat
his prices on staple groceries. when
the quality of the goods is taken into
consideration. He is a man that all
like to do business with as he has a
way about him that attracts people
to him. He is humorous and Jolly
at all times.
Mr.. Andreason purchased the BUSH
ness interests Of T. H. Cutler and
Henry Ames about four years ago.
and through his close attention to
business he has built up a good trade.
A full line Of staple groceries as well
as tobacco. candy and green groceries
make up fine stock of eatables
from which to select.
For twenty years Mr.. Andreasen
has been resident Of Trenton, hav-
ing been prosperous farmer be-
fore entering the business world. He
is still interested in productive
farm in his community.

of sufficient size to handle the en-
tire proposition. A central office was
located at Logan, and here under a
general management of the promoter,
an auditing and purchasing system
was originated. Lyman Hyde, for
ten years at the head of the purchas-
ing and anuditing department of the
Oregon Short Line Railway, was
placed in charge of the detail system.
To him reports from each hotel
auditor are sent and all supplies are
called for.
The idea of Eccles was not to
build palaces, nor to give communities
hotels so far ahead of their develop
ment that it would take them a decade
to catch up. Solid, substantial struct-
ures, with general modern conven-
fences, furnished not lavishly, but
more than sufficiently, are the basis
of the scheme, which has for its fun
damental idea continued profits.
The Logan Hotel is reinforced
concrete, hreproof structure, carry
ing sufficient exterior ornamentation
to make it attractive. Ninety rooms
were placed on three floors and every
room was built with exterior expos
ure, either to the two streets or the
alleys left on either side. Sixty OF
the rooms were connected with bath
and all OF the bath rooms were equip
ped with tile floors and built-in tubs.
The corner of the hotel structure
IS occupied by an Eccles bank. That
nay not be the exact name of the
financial institution, but it indicates
he controlling interest. Adjacent
o this one are located fine lobby,
dining room that meets all require
nents, a billiard room, barber shop

Lc canged. A mezzanine floor pro-
vides ample facilities for special
writing desks and particularly for the
convenience of women travellers. J.
J. Hitler, former manager of the
University Club at Salt Lake City
and at one time with prominent
California hotels, is manager of the
Logan house.
In Blackfoot, Idaho the hotel was
not constructed as large as the Logan
house. 1t contains only sixty rooms
with lobby, mezzanine floor, dining
room, billiard room, barber shop
kitchen and other necessities on the
main floor adjacent to the bank
Twelve OF the rooms in this house
are connected with the tile floor and
huilt-in baths. Sixteen additional
rooms have their private shower
baths in connection. H. w. Hall is
the manager of this hotel which was
opened in April of this year. He was

Willard OF st. Paul, and the Colon
ial Hotel of Rock Island, III.
The last of the trio of houses to be
opened was the one at Rexburg,
which has been in use since the middle
of July. This house is almost dup
licate of the Blackfoot Hotel in its
of rooms, baths, and other
general arrangement. The manager
Of the property is l.. r. Shurtleff,
formerly of the Lincoln Hotel at
Idaho. The two last men,

That this is the day and age of
young men in the hotel business is
no better demonstrated than in the
case of the Eccles Hotel Company,
which operates the Eccles Hotels in
Logan, Utah; Blackfoot, Idaho; and
Rexburg, Idaho. These three houses,
in addition to a large volume of en-
terprise, is dominated by M. S.
Eccles. Eccles who is not far along
in his twenties, was left with the bur-
den of a considerable fortune to look
after, and in seeking the right kind
of investment turned to the hotel
business.
Instead of venturing one large risk
in single community he determined
TO try it out in smaller way in a
smaller town. With that principle
in mind, the plans for the first hotel
at Logan, Utah, were evolved. The
reeds of the town were carefully
estimated and the hotel property was
built to be leased to Eccles and his
associates. He was at that time in
the banking business. 1t did not take
him long to realize the possibilities
of proper hotel investment and at the
end of two years he organized the
Eccles Hotel Company with the CAP
ital of half million dollars.
A large part of the capital was de-
voted to taking over the actual Hotel
Logan property, as well as the lease
and furniture of the operating COM

the merited patronage of the travel
ing public. Our business has always
been good, so good that the number
of hotels has been increased as rap
idly as possible in communities that
have vitality needed houses" said
President Eccles. 1--WE have en-
deavored to give equipment and con-
Iveniences that would meet and even
surpass any present demand. The
result bass been not only a salts

time to state that we are going to

tions make building rather doubt

the youthful director while discuss
ling some of his affairs at the Seventh
Annual Convention of the California
State Hotel Association and the
First Western Hotel Exposition which
he attended at Santa Barbara. In
the event of the extended duration
of the war it is quite possible that he
will be forced into some branch Of
service. Mrs. Eccles, who accom-
panied him on the California trip, in
timated that this would not be de-
sirable from her standpoint at pres
ent, and the government on its first
call decided that he was too import
ant to the various communities in
which he is in business to take him
away.
