Reputation for High Prices.
{ Rutland News.


1t Will be somewhat startling to the
average Vermonter to be informed that
Vermont S reputation through the Mid
die West is that it is one of the high
est priced places in the East in which
to tour. Nevertheless, this is the view
expressed by Chicago automobile tour
lst, who finds by experience that the i'm
pression is mistake. Certainly, Yer
monters are additionally fair. They
do not overreach when it comes to en-
tertaining visitors from abroad 1t
Will come to them as a distinct shock
that the reputation of the state even
to limited degree is that tourists are
gouged here. But the publication of
the statement ought to result in the
rHdoubling of efforts upon the part of
all hotel keepers, farmers and resort
owners to treat Hospitality and fairly
all guests, because a reputation of this
kind is positive asset and leads to
growing business
