UGLY HOTEL
PICTURES

IF you've ever noticed and won
i dered why hotel pictures are
invariably so homely, you may
know there's reason" Hotels
according to Norman s. Hall in
an article in this weeks Liberty,
lose thousands of dollars every
year through the unfortunate
habit of guests of removing"
things from rooms. Towels, bed
linen, draperies and the like are
taken, especially if of good quail
ity, and in an effort to discourage
the removal of at least one item.
hotel managers deliberately select
pictures that are as ugly az
possible.
They achieve their purpose, the
writer points out, for pictures are
about the only thing safe from
light-fingered guests. The man
ager of one of New York's largest
hotels explained to Hall that 'the
hotel business is probably the only
enterprise in the world that de-
liberately goes in for the home-
Hest in art. And this search for
unattractive pictures saves thou
sands of dollars yearly" But, the
writer continues, "even these are
not entirely safe. and investiga-
ton would reveal many Josephlnes
and Sheep Cravings bearing the
arms of the country's most
sumptuous hotels hanging In
homes thousands of miles from
where they originally hung"

reviving the old fires of civic
