they see old familiar faces at
the desk, at the telephone ex-
change, among the bellboys, on
the elevators and in the dining
room. In fact, they see the

Why, the two Toms in the
dining room have been here so
long that they are considered
by the guests as being quite as
important as the hotel itself,
and well they may because their
smiles and greetings are worth
coming miles to see.
We all try here to make every
