Plumb and their charming daughter
1ulm PittsHeid, Mass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Plumb are the owners
ed in the heart of the Berkshire Hills.
They are people who have broad bust
ness experience and are especiaiiy
qualified to express an opinion regard
Ing hotels and hotel management.
Pittsfield is celebrated as one OF
the most beautiful and healthful towns
OF New England. 1t has all the con-
veniences and accommodations that
modern life demands and has an alti-
tutle of about ], 400 feet. Mr. Piumb's
hotel. The Maplewood, opens on the
9th of May each year and closes the
first of November and soon after that
time he and Mrs. Plumb seek the mild
and delightful winter climate of Flor
ida. They have been coming here for
the past 81 years and have visited all
Of the various Florida cities, includ-
ing Miami. Palm Beach and the re-
sorts of the west coast. and they pro-
nonnce the Triple Cities the finest Of
them all.
Both Mr.. and Mrs Plumb say the
Princess Issena is one of the finest
hotels with which they are familiar
and say that Manager Henry W.
HAYNES is remarkable as hotel men,
both as manager and owner. They
both said it was very unusual to see
a man so young as Mr.. Haynes. so
well to the top as he is in the hotel
world. They said that when they first
began coming to Seabreeze, the Prin-
cess was little more than il boarding
house. but they said it always had
been thoroughly first class and had
always catered to the finest class of
people. but that under the skillful
management of Mr.. Haynes it had
grown into one OF the highest class
resort hotels to be found in any city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Plumb have known
Mr.. HAYNES since he was a boy and
they pronounce him one of the squar-
est and most successful hotel men in
the country. They say that he knows
lust how TO manage hotel like the
Princess. how to treat and meet people
and that he spares no pains or ex-
pense to keep his table and service up
10 the highest standard.
Mr.. Plumb was asked how the pro-
hibition law effected the hotel bust
ness, and said:
Personally. prohibition never made
any difference to me. for have never

plewood. However, have not been
able to observe that there is very
much real prohibition. Those who
want liuuor seem able to get it,
Regarding high prices and their
effects on the hotel business. AIR
Plumb said:
..The high prices of food and the
scarcity of domestic help has driven
people into the hotels. People who
could afford it have, settled the help
problem OF the home by simply going
to hotels. but now that prices are be-
ginning TO take fall. naturally labor
will be cheaper and more plentiful. fol
during the war period young women
who had been doing domestic service
were able to 80 into factories and
shops and get wages, but the read
justment will find domestic help more
plentiful and the tendency will b.
back to the home. Naturally hote
prices will come down as the prices o.
food and labor come down which vii
mean that great numbers of people
xviii patronize them.
~ Mr.: Plumb said that much of th'
so-ta1led CRANE wave in New Yorl
City was due to the laXity of the polic,
system and spoke admiringly of tn.
manner in which Chicago was deal
