Why He Considers Hotel Plan Sound In Lawrence Kansas
Glen E. Charlton of the original Chamber of Commerce hotel committee cites three grounds for subscribing to hotel stock: the evident need, expected indirect profits for citizens, and belief in a fair dividend without personal donation. He notes 158 Charlton Insurance reps must attend annual casualty school in Lawrence, plus a 1924 association gathering attracting about 1,000 people, a Blue Goose meeting bringing 110 men, and argues eliminating a major fire hazard by tearing down the Eldridge hotel. He praises the new hotel's management and urges community support for a modern Lawrence hotel as a New Year gift.
