There will be a morning paper waiting for you slipped under your door, noiselessly, while you slept. One of your doors faced with a long mirror opens into a ir?!?11"?113 room ievcry Statler room has private bath). There s a properly -placed light to shave by; pure, iced drinking water from a circulating system, and other thoughtfulncsscs that put you on a happy road to breakfast. It can be a club breakfast, if you like; Statler club breakfasts aren't stiiiEV. and are good. Conveniences surround you all day in a Statler for instance, well-selected libraries to draw on, if you want a book to match your mood. Go to h Statler when you're in a Statler city. You'll get "more fmn your money's worth," and more real comfort, convenience and luxury than you normally expect when "living at a hotel."
