ROtarian Essex Urged
Club to Get Back of the
New Hotel Plan in 1915

New hotel spirit was running rife
in Harrisburg in 1915. William S.
Essick, former president of the
Harrisburg Rotary Club and dele
gate to the San Francisco conven-
tion of Rotary Clubs that year, to-
day dug the following from his re-
port to the club following his return
from the coast:
"I mention this because of the
indifference of our city as to hotel
accommodations. Harrisburg is
known everywhere as the no-hotel-
town, and the damage of this justiti-
able reputation to our city is in
calculable-not that the hotels we
have are to be condemned, but they
are not sufficient. Compared with
hotels in other cities of our class,
they are inferior. A hotel such as
the Capitol of Pennsylvania deserves
would be worth more to Harrisburg
than a dozen factories-build this
hotel and the factories will follow.

place for men of means and leisure
and they will come and having come,
they will stay. Blind and stupid is
the capital of Pennsylvania that it
does not quickly note it's opportunity
and take advantage Of 1t.
"An old Grecian philosopher said:
THE man who does mot carry his
city within his heart is q spiritual
starving
therefore. say, let one of the
big aims of Rotary be-a new hotel
for Harrisburg in 1916"

Horace Leland Virgins, manager
Of the Penn-Harris, was a promi-
nent figure in to-days opening. Re-
lated to the famous Leland family,
pioneers in building and conducting
substantial hotels. he is the real
dyed-in-the-wool boniface. He was
chosen from q number of managers
as the best man for Harrisburg
and left his position in the Jeffer-
son, at Peoria, ILL.,, to come here.
He has had long experience in the
leading hotels of the country and
his system of charting to standardize
the work of every employe is being
adopted generally throughout the
country.
President Dudley to-day paid him
high compliment and predicted that
Harrisburg would find Manager
Virgins the same success which he
proved for himself at other hotels.
Mr.. Dudley informed to-day that
the entire gamut of hotels control
led by his company now number
sixteen. The Durant, at Flint, Michi-
gan, named after Durant the auto
mobile magnate, just beat out the
Penn Harris by a few days IN being
comp ated. The Seneca, at Roches-
te1w a nit earlier in consumma-
tibE ana the Robling at Trenton, is
not yet finished.
Manager Virgins handled the ex-
traordinary demands of the opening
with the poise and efficiency of one
who knows, and despite the num-
ber of workers still on the job the
thousands of visitors managed to see
most of the establishment, the gor-
geous lounge room being the chief
point of interest.

LINENS FROM THE
HOUSE OF BAKER
An Old-Established Firm Pro-
vides Bed Linens For the
New Penn-Harris

One of the oldest and best-known
linen houses in the United States is
that which supplied the bed linens
for the Penn-Harris, and It's history
makes an interesting story.
II. w. Baker, the founder, started
his career in the retail business
where for several years he was buyer
for large department store, whicn
furnished a considerable quantity OF
linens. etc.. to hotels. Mr.. Baker
discovered that the qualities OF lin
ems, which many of the hotels were
using were not so constructed as 10
give the greatest amount of satisfac-
tion and durability, and saw the
necessity of having goods made es-
pecialIy for hotel use. Consequently
in 1892 he formed the concern OF
Boyce & Baker, to specialize in this
much-needed field, starting business
in small office at 80 Warren street.
New York.
The concern soon outgrew It's
space and moved to larger quarters
at 81 Thomas street, and couple
of years later to rs Franklin street,
where they remained until 1902,
when Mr.. Baker bought out MIR.
Royce's interest and formed the H.
W. BdhtT lsillCh LIMP 'N-@
known as the House of Baker Linens.
They soon outgrew all available room
obtainable at 76 Franklin street, and
six years ago moved to their present
location, Al Worth street, where they
occupy the entire building of five
stories and basement, covering a
total floor space of 10000 square
feet Two years ago they were obliged
to take additional space in the build
ing next door.
During these years Mr.. Baker has
added to his staff many capable and
trustworthy men who, under his
guidance and by careful attention to
the details, and with this motto al
ways in mind-"Service and satisfac-
tion by giving the best goods with
the best prices possible to be given"
have caused the business to grow
from year to year, as the figures will
show.
The company also has California
branch, situated in Los Angeles,
where they carry complete stock;
also have sales office in Boston for
the benefit lId convenience of their
New England territory.
The Baker Linen Company make
a feature of service to hotelmen and
their entire organization is prepared
to render intelligent and efficient
service to all interested in hotel re-
quirements of any magnitude.
