Small-town hotels have been the ob-
jects of criticism, ridicule and sneers
of the part of their guests from time
immemorial. But probably most of
them are furnishing the best accom-
modations they can under the cir-
cumstances.
Travelers who are accustomed to
modern conveniences and comforts
in larger hotels probably expect too
much when they strikes a village hos-
telry.
As a reminder of this fact, one
country town hotel-keeper placed
signs in his rooms, which read as
follows;
"This ain't the Waldorf-Astoria—
If it was it wouldn't be here—You
ain't J. P. Morgan—If you was you
wouldn't be here—We know this Ho-
tel is on the bum—Well, how about
yourself?"
