Mrs. E. L. Lewis, proprietor of the
ST Louis Hotel, 607 East jefferson

The rooms are nearly filled with
transients and the big dining room,
where regular meals are served, is
like a beehive around meal time
This certainly is a popular center and
now, if you want to see your friend.
you will have to meet him at the st.
Louis Hotel, 607 East Jefferson street.
The st. Louis Hotel fills a long felt
need among our people in this city,
as they have needed just such place
as this for many years. Newcomers
and others may secure real hotel ac-
commodations in Phoenix, something
heretofore unknown to people of our
group in this section. The custom
has been to secure room at one
place and board at another. Now all
this is changed and you may secure
both under the same roof. When in
Phoenix, stop at the ST. Louis Hotel.
This hotel is to Phoenix what the
Waldorf Astoria is to New York
