F. A, BAKER GOES TO
LIVERMORE FALLS, ME.
Expected That Garfield Inn Will Re-
main Open and Will Continue
Uuder New Management.

f. A. Baker, landlord of the Can
field Inn will leave for Livermore
Falls, Maine, to assume active manage.
ment of his hotel in that place, next
Monday. While Mr.. Baker has been
contemplating a change, he was forced
to make a somewhat hurried decision
due to the fact that his manager in
Maine has been i'll for some time and
the prospects of securing a competent
man to take his place seem to make it
necessary for Mr.. Baker to return to
Maine at once and prepare for summer
business.
Mr.. Baker has been landlord of the
Garfield for over nine years and has
always condSc an establishment Of
high repute among the travelling pub
lie as we'll es locally. He enjoys an
enviable reputation as hotel manager
and his success in this business for
over twenty years speaks for Itself.
Before coming to Canaan, Mr.. Baker
conducted hotel in Livermore Falls,
Me-, which he leased for two years and
after pure asing it conducted for about
eight years. After selling this property
he went to Hartford, where he was
connected with the Hotel Gsrde.
Mr.. Baker came to this place from
Hartford about eleven years ago and
leased the Garfield which he con-
Quoted for about eight years when he
returned to Maine where he was in
business until a little over a year ago,
when he again returned to Canaan and
assumed active management of the
Garfield. 1t is with regret that we
record his leaving and the many
friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Baker
will be sorry to learn that they are to
leave Canaan.
1t is understood that several parties
have been looking at the hotel with the
intention OF leasing and unless some
thing unforeseen happens there will be
little interruption to business while
changing managers.
