In this respeé it fi)ere, e is no disputing the fact that we have:such an asset in the.Hotel Mark- - - ham—one of which ‘we are all. proud. As a citizen® of Bemidji Ffeel that it is My hotel because:it-i8 the guest room of the City. It'is the place where we entertain the. vigitors, whether I know them personally. or not. The Hotel pdtronizes me every week. It also directs patronsg -’ - < to all the other.institutions of the City, who would not stop here €x-" .~ cept for the e‘(cellent hotel accommodations. It also accommodates ~ - nearly every one in the City in many ways, such as any train, local and general information, cashing checks and other conveniences. I was told the other day that th'e Hotel Markham employed an average of 55 people during the entire year 1921; this represents a total pay roll cf over $3,000 per mnoth. I believe that with the exception of two other institutions, this is the largest payroll in the city. Of course, I don’t patronize the Hotel Markham very much, be- cause I live here, but I know that it takes patronage or revenue for the operators to maintain it as a cosmopolitan hotel, and about all T have done is to go there for lunch now and then, but when I stop to think about it I realize that the hotel cannot mak.e but.a very small profit out of these lunches. Well! I overlooked a bet. I could have made a reservation and had my wife and friends to last Sunday’s $1.00 Dinner De Luxe, which 1 knew was going to be very enjoyable, I should have gone. I should have shown the operators of the hotel that I wanted to help them main- tain a cosmopolitan hotel, and shown them that I appreciated the busi- ness that I get from them continuously, Because I know that if such dinners are well patronized, those who do attend enjoy them much more, and the hotel operators would be encouraged to do even better, but somehow that slipped my memory. From now on I am going to patronize these things and more, I am going to share my trade in every- thing that I can, including my extra meals, my smokes and my maga- zines, from the Hotel Markham. If I do it, others will be led to do so. And fuyrther, I.am going to tell my business associates and friends that they should do the same thing. I am not going to let another month go by without doing my duty as a citizen. For, it's my hotel.” Hotel Markham BEMIDJI, MINN.
