Forty years ago. under Celvin !
French. and somewhat later under
Harry French, the Barnard hotel en-
joyed some fame among tourists and
summer boarders. Since then, it has
had its ups and downs. mostly downs,
and il practically had ceased to figure
as a factor on the summer hotel map.
Since last August the carpenters and
decorators have made some great
transformations and summer people
will be glad TO patronize it now.
