pressed by the efficiency of the work
being done there that he immediate
ly was converted to this company and
after some negotiation arrangements
were finally entered into with the
Stevens company, for the construct
ion of the building, it being one of
Mr.. Koch's insistencies that if the
Stevens company was given the
contract Superintendent Granting
was to be given charge of the work
md this was promised.
Decided on Fire Proof Building
The Stevens company furnished the
committee with the necessary spec
ifications and drawings of the hotel
structure, guaranteeing the cost at
approximately $155,000 for class
C structure. They recommended,
however, that class B or fire proof
structure be erected at an additional
cost of approximately $4,000. The
committee weighed the advisability
of this change and considering the
saving in insurance premiums, the
life of the building and the minimum
up-keep, decided that it was for the
best interests of the stockholders
that this class of structure be erect
ed. Subsequently, upon the recon-
mendation of the Stevens company
an additional four rooms were added
to the east wing of the building and
also several other improvements,
which were considered for the best
| interests of economical operation, etc.,
were added, bringing the total guar
antecd cost up to $175,6OO.
| Completed so Days Ahead of Time
The history Of most construction
of this character is we'll known to
| us all; the cost nearly always great
| ly exceeds the original amount that
is estimated, but the Stevens COM
pany as part of the contract, give
| the assurance of cost, and the best
! evidence of their ability to Live up
to their guarantee without sacrific-
| ing quality in the least is the fact
| that the hotel structure will be COM
pleted within the original estimate,
and above all, that it will be ready
for occupancy fully sixty days IN
advance Of the date that was orig
finally counted upon. This is entirely
the result of the efficient manage
ment as conducted by Mr.. Granting,
and the committee feels that too
much credit cannot be given to Mr..
Granting and his organization for
this.
Choosing the Operator
We have related above general
outline of the proceedings which
covered the raising of funds and the
erection of the hotel itself, and now
let us come to the other all-important
factor, the operation. The committee
aforementioned, after having COM
lpleted arrangements with the Stew
ems company for the erection OF the
structure, realized that the next i'm
portant feature was the operation Of
the hotel, and upon the recommenda.
| ton Of their chairman, Mr.. Koch, ano
as a result of his careful investlga-
tion on the coast, they entered into
a contract with the Charles B. Ham
ilton Hotels, Inc, Chas. B. Hamilton
president, for the full operation o.
the hotel, on division of the. net
profits, it being understood that the
operating company is not to receive
any share Of the profits until alter
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-31

all expenses of whatsoever nature
have been deducted and the stock
holders have been paid seven per cent
on their preferred stock The Charles
B. Hamilton Hotels, Inc, is at this
time successfully operating the fol-
lowing hotels: The Hotel Fresno
Fresno, Calf; The Hotel Marysville
-MarysviIle, Calf; the Hotel Rey-
nolds-Riverside Calf; the Hotel
Carquinez- Richmond, Calf; the
Tracy Inn-Tracy, Calf; the Hotel
Alameda Alameda, Calf; the Ho-
tel Monte Vista-Flagstaff; The
Mesa Inn-Mesa, Arizona, Ito open
June 1, 1920; and associated with
Louis M. Rossi, leading hotels OF the
north of the Bay Region-the Occl-
dental hotel and the Occidental ho-
tel annex-Santa Rosa, Calf. This
evinces the high regard in which this
operating company IS held on the
coast, and the fact that its president,
Charles B. Hamilton, has for many
years been president or wee pfesl-
dent of the Southern California Ho-
tel Mems association is evidence OF
his ability, and is assurance that the
Flagstaff hotel is to be aligned with
other hotels in chain which will
mean not only valuable advertising,
but will make it a sharer in the pat
ronage of this chain, and by reason
Of its alliance with these other first
class hotels will Immediately estab-
lish it's prestige.
Jimmie Hamilton. Resident Manager
James E. Hamilton, who has been
in the hotel business for more than
20 years as a successful manager Is
to be the resident manager OF the
Flagstaff hotel, under the supervls-
ion of his brother, Charles B. HanaIl-
ton. president of the operating COM
pany. He is now on the ground and
is assisting in preparing everything
necessary for the proper conduct OF
the business. The committee IN It's
purchase Of furnishings and equip
ment has been assisted by Charles
B. Hamilton, and his experience and
good judgment in this regard nave
been of great value.
AS much as possible of the mater
ial in the structure as well as the
Furnishings and equipment have been
purchased in Arizona and through 10
cal merchants.
Naming of New Hotel
One of the questions that con-
| fronted the committee was SUIT
able name for the hotel. 1t was fin
ally decided to conduct contest,
open to all stockholders, who were
privileged to submit names. The re-
suit Of review of these names
submitted by various stockholder
was the choosing Of the name Hotel
Monte Vista, which name had been
sent in by Loran Savage OF Flag
staff. This selection was made py
the committee assisted by Mrs: r
! M. Gold, Mrs. Cecil DeVaney, Mrs
j. C. Clarke, Mrs. Ross Denman
Miss Mary Boyer and Miss Mariaf
Wallace.
Subsequent to the temporary or
ganization Of the hotel company, :
final organization was effected ano
the following officers and directors
named to govern for one year: :,
I. b. Koch, PRESIDENT; A.. J. Mack

singing campaign songs, and finally
ending up at the site of the new
hotel and adding to the excitement
by turning in a fire alarm, etc.
will always be a vivid one.
Selection of the Site
In connection with the selection of
site, be it said for general informa-
ton that this was left entirely to
the judgment of the Hockenbury
people who made the survey. Five
sites were recommended and linn
it placed on the amount that they
figured should be paid for any one
of these. Their recommendations
were weighed by the committee and
! the first choice of the Hockenbury
people, the site at the corner of San
Francisco street and Aspen avenue,
was selected. Negotiations were en-
tered into with the owners, David
Babbitt and T. A. Riordan and F. S.
Breen, and the hotel company,
which had been Immediately organ
lied as the Flagstaff Community Ho-
tel company, arranged for the pur-
chase of this site, which included not
only the vacant lots as they existed
at the corner of San Francisco and
Aspen, but also the site and improve
ments on what was known as the
post office building and The Coco
nino Sun site and building. So the
Hotel company owns the entire
square bounded by San Francisco
street and Aspen avenue, the Santa
e-Babbitt switch and the Wilson
& Coffin building, or approximately
an area of 130 feet on San Francisco
street by 123 feet on Aspen avenue.
Selecting the Builders
Immediately after the success of
the drive was assured, the commit
tee, consisting Of the original eight
named above, augmented by P. ].
Moran, DIR. A. ]. Mackey and K. j.
Nackard, reconvened and organized
themselves into permanent COM
mittee, selecting |. B. Koch as chair
man. DIR. Mackey was added to the
| list because of the excellent work
he had done as head of the sales
organization, and Mr.. Moran was
selected by reason of his connection
with the large mercantile establish
ment of Babbltt Brothers, ana was
considered a valuable and necessary
addition to the organization. Mr..
Nackard, prominent business man
was selected to succeed Roger
Birdseye, who had been largely In
strumental in the early work of or
ganization, but who was leaving for
| Santa Fe, N. NJ. to make his home.
The new organization Immediately
delegated its chairman to proceed to
make arrangements with some con-
cern looking toward the construction
of the edifice. Mr.. Koch, who had
prior to this date been IN conference
with builders on the coast on several
occasions, recommended as his choice
| H. L. Stevens & company of Chicago
and San Francisco, an investigation
by him showing that this company
stood far and above all others in the
way of offering the most satisfactory
guarantee of meritorious and econ
omical construction. Among other ho-
tells Mr.. Koch visited Ell TETON which
was just being completed at Bakers
| field. Calf, and which had been
built under the able supervision Of
Clark Gramling. Mr.. Koch was 50 i'm

How our men are all determined,

We have highways, we have spirit,

We have scenery, we have climate
soon we'll have New Hotel.
Fellows, have just been thinking,
how much stock Pm going to sell;
How I'm going to be a booster,
for to build a New Hotel;
We are statesmen, we are workers,
we are men who sure can yell,
WE WANT MONEY, WE WANT
MONEY, for to build this New
Hotel.
The above songs are reprinted
from a. copy of The Flag EN-, the
daily bulletin which was furnished
to all, and to Miss Margaret Stewart,
the present able secretary of our
Chamber of Commerce, all credit for
this publication was due.
Flags and banners were awarded
daily to the group selling the largest
amount of stock that day, and silver
shield was awarded to the division
whose sales were the greatest for
the day. This silver shield is being
engraved with full list of the
sales organization, and will be hung
as a permanent fixture IN the lobby
of the hotel.
The result of each days sales in the
photographed tabulation on this
page shows the success with
which the drive met from its in
cipiency and the final conclusion on
May II, 1926.
Got More Money Than Expected
When the result of the survey
made by the Hockenbury people, as
above referred to, was made known
to the citizens, many expressed the
belief that the amount of money that
could be raised in the town had been
over-estimated, and had little hope
that even half of the amount would
be subscribed, but the final outcome
of the campaign quieted these fears
and anyone who was doubtful of the
sincerity of the movement must
have had all fears dispelled by the
enthusiasm that prevailed at the dim
ner which was held in the evening,
supplementary to the luncheon of the
last day, for the purpose of closing
the campaign; and the memory OF the
seventy or more prominent citizens
of Flagstaff, men and women, who
had been workers in the campaign,
marching down from the club house
through the streets of Flagstaff,
