We are ardent advocaters of the
slogan "patronize home industry" Of
course you cannot stop at Welsh
hotel when you are travelling in Hous-
ton, Texas, but you can stop at a no.
tel in Houston that thinks enough of
your patronage to extend you an in
vitstiop through your home paper. A
reference to another column of this
paper will show you that we are re-
ferring to the Brazos hotel. The
Brazos is an old fashioned hotel,
with all modern conveniences, espec-
tally attractive to those seeking COM
fort and quiet surroundings, having
in connection cafe, buffet, tailor,
laundry, barber shop and individual
gauges for the conveniences of those
travelling in automobiles. When you
anticipate visiting Houston, if you
will drop a card to the Brazos hotel
advising the character of the room
you desire, and when you arrive there
mention the confidence the Journal
reposes in that institution, we will
guarantee that your stay will be made
as comfortable and as pleasant as is
possible.
