Here's Tip About Hotel Guests.
In the American Magazine writer
says:
Here's funny thing, by the way,
that I've noticed about hotel guests
You have soiled towel in room,
and the guest will probably complain.
But you can leave a bucket of paint
and a paperhanger's scaffold in the
hallway, and compel the guest to
crawl under a stepladder to get to his
room, and he will put up with it
observation-disclosures he knows you
are painting or papering by way of
making an Improvement, and he is in
sympathy with that. 1t doesn't cost
much to make over carpet so that
bare spot in front Of the dresser
will be eliminated, but such little de-
tails are vast help in making
hotel prosper"
