HOTEL CONDITIONS
HERE ARE EQUAL
TOOTHER YEARS

Life about the big hotels of the
Triple Cities is beginning to show its
usual mid-winter activity. Because Of
The general decline in Industrial con
|ditioas. the stringeney in financial
circles taken together with mild and
beautiful early winter season in the
northern states, many people have
predicted for Florida resort towns a
dull tourist business for 1921. Bust
ness in the Triple Cities is always at
its best in February. AMI also in
March, when hundreds OF tourists who
have spent the mid-winter months in
! the mere southern resorts, are driven
by the extreme heat to one or the
other Of the three cities that offer a
spring climate that nowhere can be
excelled. March and April are two of
the loyeliest months here. and two of
/ the most disagreeable in the North
when the winter drags slowly into a
promised spring that does not come
in all its beauty until late in May
Manager c. J. Root OF the Claren-
don said recently:
Hotel men in the Triple Cities or
/ IN fact in any OF the Florida resorts.
have no reason for discouragement.
The business of the Clarendon is right
up to what it has been in the past
years at this time. There have been
no cancellations, although a few pa
irons have postponed their coming for
la few days owing, as a rule to the
mild winter in the North.

The management Of the leading hotels
on the east coast and in every in

picking up in fine shape and that the
prospect for a good year is very
bright
