His because it is given witit aincere ' name is known to hotel heads pleasure in the giving. To afford all the throughout the civilized universe. protection and Waldorf-Astori- a a nation on a city rests suprieiugly often on its hotels. This town is declared a and that town is de"good town clared a "punk place by thousands of travelers who if called upon to give a basic reason for this conclusion could be pinned down to tho fact that the hotel wherein they were quartered gave them service or lack of service, made their stay pleasant or unpleasant, pleased the senses ot affronted them and tinged their entire stay. If they got up in the morning after a sleepless night because of unnecessary hall noises, poor mattress, faulty bath tub Or what not and went down to a poorly cooked or served breakfast their entire day began wrong and the sights or experiences that they would have hailed with pleasure were they feeling fit were received with indifference or even dislike because their nerves were rasped, their digestion uneven, their rest broken and before them was a night of similar experience. Those who use hotels are not to be numbered in thousands but in millions per annum. The majority of citizens of the United States use a hotel at least once a year for sleeping or eating purposes and they have bee taught to expect not only the eomforts of home but super comforts, super service and super luxuries. With every niaq a different temperament and a creature of different habits the hotel of today must be prepared to please a thousand whims, notions and desires and at the same time not allow that indulgence to interfere with the whim, notion or desire of another guest. In other words the hotel business must be and is one of the most highly specialized professions in the world. The judgement of 4 V Hotel's Like Homes. The basic principle of hotel keepand ing is still the cordial welcome entertapnment of the traveller, and the maintenance of the friendly personal relationship of host and guit, But hotel keeping is no longer looked upon as a "gift, which covered a multitude of" discomforts to the traveller. It is a Science of Business, and a Business of Science, studied carefully arid thoughtfully in every particular, and with definitely formulated principles. T0 study the traveling public, who want the best in hotel service, who wish to be well served, but not over served, and who appreciate intelligent convenience of hotel practice, and the best operating methods, and to improve them constantly. To be fair to all, patrons, employes, and stockholders. To recognize in the conduct of the business, that honesty is the best policy iu all transactions, that the highest grade of quality are esseutial in all purchases aud preparations; and that its operation must be always unqualified first class. T0 cater to patrons and meet their wishes, the only limits to this being those of law and society and the comfort of others. The Late Mr. Boldt. The one outstanding figure connecting the best in old and new methods of hotel operation was the late George C. Boldt, known and loved by the most universal and distinguished ever , established. Mr. patronage Boldt was a man who represented tlie personification of hospitality. The world famous Waldorf-Astori- a was conceived by him ia vision, and took shape and materialized under his personal guidance. He was the pioneer of modern keeping, and he taught the world new standards in his beloved profession. As Mr. Boldt may be said to connect the old and new in hotel opera links tion, so The Waldorf-Astoritho old time BUiall hotels with the monumental enterprises which today number thousands of rooms and count their guests in millions. T0 quote statistics; in the one group of five New York hotels which we oporrate, but one unit of the hotel industry of the city, one million five hundred guests were registered in the year 1920. A somewhat parallel organization, known as the "Pershing Square Hotels comprises five large establishments also, and contains, like our Own organization oue of the three largest hotels in the world. The Pennsylvania Hotel, at present the largest one of all, numbers more than two tnousand Sooms. The New York hotel system is the official host of the world for America It condenses tho comfort and advant ages of long experience in catering to countless millions over the centunes. Our hotels must and do fulfill the exand acting function of welcoming caring for the people of every land, under conditions adapted to their in dividual requirements. A series of highly organized departments of ho tel service must be maintained, and it is no infrequent occurrence, for in a Many of the New Y'ork hotels maintain in foreign countries special representatives and facilities to take care of the guest beforg he leaves his own country, book his hotel accomhis itineraries) modations, arrange supply information, and help in planning arrangements in the greatest detail This foggign servic is vice versa, at the disposal of the hotel guest leaving New York for foreign countries, for iu the hotels themselves are establishgd foreign clubs, reading rooms, special banking service, and facilmtny other highly specialized ities. New York City hotels have long been models for construction and hotel opgartions maungemeut of everywhere and no projector of the modern hotel in the United States or Europe would think of begining his work without first making a careful study of our monumental hostclries. In most of our hotels the visitor will find that his every wish may be fulfilled without leaving the building. A lady with children may be assign on which Womans Floor, ed to a men are never roomed. Thero she will find a playground and nursery for her children, whero they may jromp and play or enjoy ai quiet story hour with the attendant. On the the guest w'ill "Woman 8 Floor, find a hairdressing salon, library, reception rooms, and many other spec ial services. There are house physicians always subject to call, even a dental office in some hotels. Brokers office, trav el and information bureaus, drug stores, barber shops, Turkish baths swimming pools, etc., are quite ordinary adjuncts t0 the hotel operation, ns well as specialty shops for ladies, haberdasheries, and innumerable other conveniences. - Places of Beauty. Aesthetically, our hotels rank high lv for the'ir beautiful architecture, their wonderful tapestries, paintings, and furnishings, and it is no uncommon occurrence, for instance, V) have classes of art students request the privilege of being guided through the hotels and learning of the various treasures on display there. Our music is also an interesting feature, and orchestras of the highest type, often directed by world famous artists, are included in the hotel organizations. Lilkwise in the kitchens, our chefs and stewards are frequently called upon to lecture to agricultural and home economics classes, who visit these departments because of their infacilities teresting and remarkable for the study of culinary art. In the business operation of the hotel every economic condition is a source of constant study; as an example of the careful analysis made in every branch of tho operation 2S2 might be mentioned the system of food control. In our own restaurants alone, five aud a half million meals are served in the course of a years business. Obviously these enormous volumes of resturaut business must involve most careful controlling. Although tho theory' of bill of fare prices aud tho apparently aibitrary method by which they are arrived at, are to the miud of the average diner as obscure as "the this subject is thwuiy of relativity, ncvci theiess a source ol coutiuual study aud adjustment ou the part Of hold management.
