TUCSON, Ariz

Luxury, comfort and attrac-
tiveness have come to Tucson
within the memory of today's
grandfathers, particularly hotel
wise. E.
No more than 80 years ago,
the hotel situation in Tucson
consisted of two choices. When
a man turned in on the dried
mud Plaza, he either slept on his
back using his stomach for q
blanket or he slept on his stom-
ach and used his back for pro-
lection from the night.
Around the turn of the CEN
tury the Tucson areas accom-
modationS had improved but, in
general. were nothing to boast
about. The most spectacular ho-
tel of the day was the new Gads-
den Hotel in nearby Douglas. al
though it's period of glory was
brief.
New York Atmosphere
The Gadsden opened up in
Arizona's newest town with a
dapper manager in morning
coat who looked askance at the
high-booted cattle barons and
weirdly costumed mining ty-
coons who lounged about his
ornate lobby of rose marble and
gilded ceiling.
In this raw boom town along
the Mexican border, the cuisine
was done by. a chef from New
York'S famed Knickerbocker;
the bar handled only the best of
Scotch whiskies, American bour-
bon, French champagne and
wines. But the Gadsden Hotel
