WESTLAKE Dairyman FRED F. WILLSON Architect * V The hotel business is like any other business; the success of any business, whether it be a store, office building, or bank, depends upon certain business fundamentals. 1. EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT. 2. BUILDING IN KEEPING WITH NEEDS. 3. PROPER COST OF CONSTRUCTION 4. v GOOD ARCHITECTURE—i. e., SO ARRANGED AS TO HAVE ECONOMY OF OPERATION. 5. GOOD LOCATION. 6. PROPER FINANCING, NO PROMOTION OR «WATERED" STOCK. After many months of careful preparation and study, our Community Hotel Committee announces to the public that it believes that our modern hotel is a good investment, because: 1. We had a careful survey made of hotel needs in our city and this survey is being followed to the letter. 2. We will have a successful hotel operator and management. 3. We will not over-build, but are following the survey and will not exceed the required needs of our city. j , t - 4. We will not build a monument; the cost of the construction will be the minimum for the maximum returns. 5. We have obtained experienced hotel specialists and engineers to design our hotel;* , 6. The site is regarded as the best from the investors' and hotel opera tor's standpoint. i *!. Modern hotels based on these ordinary business fundamentals do pay excellent returns on the investment. This investment is regarded as safe because it is represented by a substantial hotel building erected in the center of a growing community. ,9 ' It is proposed to have the hotel operated by a thoroughly experienced and competent hotel N man. Two of the most reliable operators in the west have already expressed their desire to secure a contract for the operation of this hotel. The best offer will be accepted by the Board of Dir ectors. It is proposed to lease or contract for the operation, of the hotel on a basis which will provide for all maintenance and upkeep and for the payment of seven per cent interest on the investment, and in addition thereto, for the division of the surplus or net profit which may be available. • i / Help Boost - Buy Stock • N Not only a Safe Investment But a Civic Duty / * V' 4 / tt OPEN TELEPHONE LINES TO MEXICO Rate From Bozeman Is $12.25 For Three-minute Station to-station Call Telephone communication between the United States and several of the principal cities of Mexico was opened this morning at 8 o'clock, and it is now possible to talk from any Bell system point to Mexico City, Puebjo, Tampico, San Lewis, Potosi, Victoria, Saleillo, Monterey and Nuevo Laredo, according to an announcement by the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the International Tele phone and Telegraph corporation.
