Hotel Arrivals List Reads Like Social Register
A long hotel arrivals column lists guests from cities across the Northeast, Midwest, and Canada. Names include Frank Hitchcock of Youngstown and H H Westinghouse of New York, with couples such as Mr. and Mrs. Crawford of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. J M Brander of New York. The roster spans Clifton to Toronto, noting many residents of Philadelphia, Cleveland, Boston, and Brooklyn among others. The dense enumeration reflects a bustling guest tally common to turn‑of‑the‑century hotel ledgers.
