Douglas Community
Hotel Is Advertised
By Operating Co.

E. w. Graves, executive chairman of
the Community Hotel has received a
number of printed menus sent out by
the Hamilton Hotel Company which
all carry in the lists of hotels operat-
ed by that establishment, the Douglas
Community Hotel as one OF their
chain.
Graves said this indicates that the
chain hotel system heve already be-
gun to advertise the Douglas hotel to
their customers. AS soon as the hotel
is in operating order there should be
a. large number, of regular guests of
the Hamilton Hotels ready to visit the
baby member. sr
Douglas Community Hotel is written
at the bottom of the lists OF hotels
and the name is linked with such as,
Hotel Marysville, Marysville, Calf, the
famous Hotel Alexandria, Los Angeles,
the Hotel Reynolds, Riverside, Calf.
The Hotel Carquinez, Richmond,
Calf The Tracy Inn, Tracy Calif. The
Hotel Alameda, Alameda, Calf. The
Hotel Monte Vista, Flagstaff; The
Mesa Inn, Mesa; The Occidental Ho-
tel; The Hotel Santa Rosa at Santa
Rosa, Calf and the New Community
Hotel, Douglas Arizona
1t is deemed important that name
be chosen soon for the hotel here SO
that advertising may go forward
from definite basis and the fame
of Douglas hoteT be spread more rap

Gambling In France
Is GrOwing Industry

/; Z PARIS QP-Gambling is becoming
a bigger industry in France every
year. vi &4st
The big Winnings-and big loSingS-
that Deauville talked about last sum-
mer are likely to seem like small
change when that luxurious resort
reaches the height of its season late
in the summer.
Deauville doesn't get well started
until midsummer, when the million
aires and would-be millionaires pour
in from North and South America.
Other beaches, nearer England, such
as LIE Touquet, begin raking in the
pounds and francs at Easter.
This year all the casinos on the
Channel coast witnessed more gamb-
ling on big scale at Easter than
last. At Pentecost-of Whitsuntide,
as the English call 1.-THE Easter re-
'ceipts were made to seem like pretty
small takings. Games of chemin> de
fer went on all night at Lie Tou-
quet, some players staying until S8
q. m. A year ago the casino there
was seldom open until dawn. Banks
of $4,000 were not uncommon, and
the winning or losing Of million
francs at sitting. was no rare sight.

CLIMATE CLUB
TOPRINT MANY
new BOOKLETS

The board of directors OF the
Rorderland Climate club met last
evening at the club offices in the
chamber of commerce and voted 10
order a new consignment Of 10000
booklets illustrating and describing
the various attractions OF the dis
trict. The new booklets will contain
some half dozen more pages than
the old ones did and more scenes OF
the resorts OF the district in addition
TO more pictures of Douglas parks.
President Tardy reported to the
directors that subscriptions to the
Borderland club are coming in rap
idly and that money sufficient for the
proposed program OF advertising Will
be available He reported that all
but a very few businesses and in
dividualS on the lists have already
signed up for their investments in
the future of Douglas.
Reports on the results OF the ad-
vertising done last winter showed
that it cost approximately $500 to
interest one person in Douglas to
such an extent that ne or she would
write here for additional in1orma-
ton. 1t was figured out that through
the system of using three antionally
circulated magazines for the adver-
tising made it cost but one-seven-
teenth of a cent for each message.
