Some hotels are noted for their
cuisine; others for their splendid ap-
pointments. The Pine Tree Inn,
however, which one Of the show
places of BOgalusa, is famed through
out the South for it's beauty of ar
chitecture and its all-around COM
fort.
Under the direction Of W. S. Gar
diner, this hosiery has one by-word
SERVICE. Every endeavor is al
ways made to make the visit of guests
pleasant, and the management has
succeeded in this so well that trav-
cling men frequently make long
Jumps to STAY at the Pine Tree Inn
for the night.
The traya4er's best and worst IN
pressions of a city are usually re-
ceived at the hotel at which he stops.
This is realized By the Pine Tree
management and the hotel is always
kept in first-class shape.
Despite its large construction,
there are only fifty rooms for guests
at the Pine Tree, much space being
used for other purposes. The lobby
is magnificent; there is a spacious
library and a convenient writing
room. The hotels dining room isI
thoroughly equipped in every rsspset
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1920-11-25

In the basement is a billiard room
and large sample rooms for COM
merciaI travellers to display their
goods.
The Pine Tree Inn was recently
remodeled from basement to roof at
an approximate cost of $4,000.
Every room was redecorated and
running waite was installed in each
room, while numerous repairs were
made to the outside Of the structure.
w. S. Gardiner, the manager,
while he has had the Pine Tree for
little over year, is making a sue
less in its management and is ex-
ceedingly popular among all his WIS.,
tors. He injects his affable per
onalty into every dealing with his
,uests and has much to 90 with the
act that people ike to stop at the
inc Tree.
The hotel is more like a popular
esort than it is q stopping place for
ommercial men with it's large out
cor natatorium, its tennis courts
and its proximity to the golf course.
And good management and splen-
did facilities tell their own story.
The hotel is practically always filled
to capacity and scarcely a day goes
By that it is not necessary to turn
down requests for rooms.
