YOUR HOTEL
AND YOUR CITY

al am told BY some of the faithful workers who have helped me
IN the hotel campaign that Albuquerque is tired of 1t. don't
doubt it. 80 am l. But am not 50 tired, and am sure the great
majority of citizens are not 50 tired that either of us is willing
to leave this undertaking unfinished.
q did not seek tho leadership of the hotel campaign. 1t was
thrust upon me. took it because know the value of success
with the undertaking both in the need for the hotel and in the in
tuence success will have upon further building and growth.
confidently expected that A~lbuquerquc would Nubscrlb" the en-
tire sum required within a few days H. a year Of normal inan-
cll conditions You would have done So. Under the conditions
that have existed and that still exist to some extent, every sub
Scrptou has meant an effort, for the solicitor and for the sub
scrber, and sacrifice of time by the former. and OF money need
ed m other ways by the latter. Thus the subscription we have
reached represents a loyalty, a sacrifice and a community spirit
as fine as any have ever encountered.
GPersonally have bought hotel stock 10 my ultimate limit.
have given go days or more 10 the work. have dragged men
away from their businesses and kept them away until am
ashamed 10 ask them for more sacrifices. They cannot give more
time to this undertaking Neither can l. Business matters, long
delayed because OF this hotel campaign, can no longer be
S129.i2o worth Of stock, have reached my limit.
q can give but two more days TO this work, Monday and Tues
dv. n by Tuesday night We hs,. not received the $40 $50 i'm
additional subscriptions required, we have no other option than
TO accept 1t as Albuquerque deere" that it will leave this project
unfinished, and We will leave It so.
a. see no other way TO raise this s20ssO than through the volm-
tary $50 subscriptions which We ask a minimum Of 500 erizcns TO
make. Personally would not again approach one of the 800 who
have subscribed. for additional subscriptions because they have
told ms they have reached thor respective limits, and believe
they are telling the truth.
GThis final word: Your city and my city needs this hotel. 1t
needs il first 10 fiji a pressing. practical demand for ample, mod
crn hotel accommodations. In filling that need the hotel will
prove successful aud profitable to the stockholders. make that
forecast ON my own responsibility know It will prove true.
gBut, my fellow citizens. your city aud my city needs this hotel
MOST as a symbol which will stand in physical. enduring ei
dence to N, and 10 the world. tlat this civ has the win and the
courage TO carve out its own future. so build itself, 10 make lis
own way and create its own prosperity. That symbol will be
worth more TO MS than can ever be measured in dollars. To fail
with the achievement of the total we set out to reach, even by
50 much as one dollar, will cost us in lost respect for our com
mmity pulling powers and our faith in ourselves and our city,
more than can ever be measured in money. leave II in your
hands urging you once more to finish this fund, TO the last cent
required for a debt free building.
