Since the virtues of phelacttne as
a hair remover became generally
known, druggists in this country have
been having a really extraordinary:
demand for this remarkable product.
The fact that it actually removes the
roots-before ones very eyes-as

mainly responsible for its large and
increasing sale. The new method 's

BUSINESS BUILDINGS
PUSHING HOTELS OUT
ASSOCIATED Press

New York, July 19-The bidding
power of Office seeking and not prohi-
bition has caused many hotels in the
general vicinity of 42nd street to close
recently, according to opinions of real
estate men expressed recently.
Within a relatively short time of
one another such old and famous hos
telries as the Holland House, Sherry's
ard the Fifth Avenue hotel have clos
ed their doors and more recently the
Knickerbocker-a relatively new and
imposing structure-abando buis-
ness.
Prohibition has done this" cried
many ''wets." but now one we'll
known hotel woman advanced the
theory that the steady march of bust
ness toward the newer uptown see
tions was a paramount consideration
Of the men who decided to close their
hostelries.
"a hotel doesn't have to run be-
hind to close" she declared, ssif the
owner of the property considers it
better business policy to erect an Of
flee building on the ground. he isn't
likely to let sentiment sway him. Pro-
hibition? Nol Let's say business"
Real estate men admitted, however,
there was no general formula to ac-
count for the disappearance of the
old hotels, some of them the possess
sors of international regulations.
Some people who are closely in
touch with the hotel business ascribe
the closing of some of the older houses
to the fact that the principles of hotel
construction have undergone radical
changes in the last decade. Hotels,
they say, are being built with several
times as many rooms as formerly,
effecting concentration about one
controlling headquarters and reducing
the overhead expense" incident to
upkeep of individual rooms and apart
neIts.
Something more than sentimental
loss is entailed in the passing of the
old hotels. another hotel manager
points out.
with the closing of the Holland
House, Sherry's, the Knickerbocker
andthe Manhattan" he said, 'there
has been a decrease of about 220O
rooms available in the center of the
city. Recent structures have supplied
about 1900 rooms, leaving net gain
of about 1000 rooms in FIVE years.
This gain is not adequate to accom-
modate the increased demand. l
doubt if even the new hotels now PLAN
ned will be sufficient to supply the de-
mands of the greater number of appli-
cants."
That this fact is appreciated by
hotel interests is proved by the exten-
sivc preparations being made to fill
the need. Plans are under way for
the construction of several new hotels
in the uptown district.
