THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECOHDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, im.
A-
"WILL THEY COME HERE?
THAT IS, THE NORTHERN AND FOR
EIGN TOURISTS.
Of lutc-rr.t to the People of Atnerlcue—
Who Will be the Man to Itnn Our New
Hotel?—The Drawing Tower*
by Favorite Landlord*
TL.it is, will the omnipresent northern
tourist come to Americus when our mag
nificent winter resort hotel is finished
and opened? This is a question of great
moment just now to a great many peo
ple in this city whose money lies in the
vast pi'e of brick and mortar that is t.
constitute our great hotel.
“That depends,” in the opinion of I
good many well posted persons, on cir
cumstances.
It by no means follows that because
we have built an #100,000 house, the
tourist is going to make a rush for it at
the very outset. Oh, no, the tourist is
a very peculiar bird; and lie isn’t caught
with chaff. Those who have frequented
the Florida winter hotels, have discover
ed that the tourist is gregarious, and is
furthermore disposed to follow certain
landlords around from place to place,
many of these bonifaees keeping hotels
in the north during summer and in Flor
ida in winter, and carrying their clien
tele wherever they go.
Hundreds of these tourists will go any
where that a certain favorite landlord
bangs out his shingle; and what Is fur
thermore of importance, these landlords
“drum" for one another, and so do their
guests for them. Thousands of tourists
are sent by this system from place to
place, where they might never go other
wise.
If our hotel should be leased by a
landlord not “in the ring” or the “com
bination,” it might be some time before
any considerable patronage of that very
desirable class came this way, If at all.
- A reputation would have to be built
up not only for the hotel but for the
landlord, whereas, the right sort of
landlord could bring hundreds of tour
ists here the first season.
In view of this well-known fact, the
weight of opinion among the manage
ment seems to be in favor of the hotel
being run the first year by the owners,
the right sort of landlord ,to control a
big run of tourist custom being employ
ed by the hotel company on a salary, as
he might not be brought to try
field without Buch guarantee.
As soon as the reputation of the
“Queen of Southwest Georgia” was es
tablished among the tourists, there
would be no trouble about leasing the
hotel on the best of terms to any one of
the numerous landlords who would be
both willing and able to give a good
rental.
A mistake at tbo outset would bo a
serious backset, and take some time to
recover from.
For example, the DeSoto at Savannah
was first leased at a big price to a mnn
Ignorant of the situation and without a
clientele among the tourists; and though
it was one of the finest hotels In the
country, the management was a failure,
and fell through the first season, owing
unpaid bills In all directions; and thus
doing the bouse an Injury that the
present management has had a hard
light to overcome.
These views are gathered from the ex
presslons of several members of the
board of management; and may bo re
garded as reflecting the sentiments of
many if nota majority of the board.
These gentlemen are determined not
to mako any-, mistake^ in this matter;
awl A(ncr(cus‘niay depend 'npdn it, tha
the very best filing thaf can bedoneio
the success of this magnificent property
will be done,/. , ....
Freak of Lightning.
During the storm of yesterday after
noon the lightning had a little skirmish
with t)>o cun tents of tbe . house, <d r Mr.
Thompson, in his absence. It 1 -might
have been different If Mr. Thompson
bad been at home; but Mr. T. is just
as well pleased that he was not “in it.”
The house is on the corner of Trinee
and Church streets, and that house
to-day has more ventilation on tbe cor-
ner then It ever had before. Glassware,
crockery, etc., received special attention
from the electric visitor, and at the fin
ish those articles were “no good.”
Fortunately, there was nobody at
home to receive tbo sudden visit, and
the reporter lost what might have been
a good item. Mrs. McConnell, a neigh
bor, witnessed the performance, and
when she recovered from the effects of
the suddenness of what she saw, she
sent for Mr. Thompson. Thero will bo
a noticeable improvement in the glass
ware and crockery linn on Saturday.
