TOURIST Hotel
WITH SERVICE
STATION OPEN s

Joe Good well known young busi-.
ness man of this city, has built q
service station on the Bisbee highway
just west of the Southern Pacific
railroad Station and will operate the
service station in connection with the
Depot hotel. which he is remodeling
and cleaning thoroughly. The Depot
hotel sets directly west of the rail-
road station and is a large framu
structure with 81 rooms.
+ Good has come to the conclusion
that this hotel, SO situated that every
motorist either entering or leaving
the city must see it, iss a logical
location for the hotels business. Tt
is considered fortunate that he has
been able to secure this excellent
location and the large hotel building
as the general feeling is that the
demand this winter for hotel ac-.
commodations will be great.
The proprietor is opening the serv-
ice station this morning and today
only will have a reduced price ON
gasoline to attract custom. The
service station will be known as
"Joe's Service Station" He will sell
speedene. gasoline and motor oils and
