Consolidated August 1, 1919 Circulation 1300 Successor To French Broad Hustler And The News HENDERSONVILLE, N. G. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1919 VOL. XXVI, NO 36 PRICE FIVE CENTS T" . , 'UJLSuu - UlJUJJ. U L3Lzi u yd) yDd)& U U UiJnltU - : ' " i " -- Public Spirit of Town Revealed In Determination to Increase the Tourist Accommodations Now STRICTLY Prominent Hotel Men Interested In Locating Here, Where They Believe Money Invested Now Will Bring Quick Returns It is now confidently believed that Hendersonville will soon have a new $150,000 hotel, fireproof and modern, this needed addition to the town's tourist equipment coming as a direct result of board of trade activities. The hoard of trade held a special meeting last week to consider the new hotel situation here, which situation had be come somewhat involved. Another meeting will be held tonight (Wednes day) when a definite proposition from J. L. Tallabast, interested in a new $800,000 hotel being erected in Miami, Florida, and in other hotels, will be considered and possibly accepted. Should nothing definite result from this conference with Mr. Tallabast, who is coming here for that one pur pose, there are other propositions . which-.will be considered. John Lang, of the Langren Hotel, Asheville, is very much interested in the hotel sit uation here, it is known, and there are other hotel men of equally high re putation who believe that Henderson ville needs another new and strictly modern hotel. It may be stated with the utmost confidence, therefore, that this resort will soon be in a position to care more adequately for the enor mous summer business which is its right, and that it will also soon be in a position to compete for the profit able winter buiness which means so much to Asheville, and which sup ports there what has been widely ad vertised as "the finest resort hotel in the wrorld." Mr. Tallabast proposes to build here a modern, fireproof hotel to cost not less than $150,000, to be located, it is understood, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Church street, immediat ely opposite the postoffice. Mr. Tall abast has indicated his willingness to take. $37,500 stock in the company, suggests that the citizens of the town take an equal amount, and that the remainder be financed by any one of several available means. It is under stood that -the proposition appeals strongly to those who recognize the imperative needs of this resort for in creased hotel facilities, and it is be lieved there will be no difficulty what ever in securing the necessary funds. There has long been an agitation for an absolutely modern hotel here to supplement the excellent service ren dered by those already established, and which have done so much to make Hendersonville popular with untold thousands of visitors. But it is point ed out, this resort has utterly out grown its present tourist accommo dations and unless the growth of the place is simply to stop right now these accommodations must be in creased materially. The new hotel . will greatly aid, it is believed, in de veloping the winter tourist traffic and in making of Hendersonville what Nature planned for it an all-the-year-'round resort. The new golf links so rapidly nearing completion will play an important part in this development of new business. While the present excellent pros pects for a new hotel here quite na turally appeal to all having the in terests of the town close to their hearts, a greater significance attaches to the community of interest, the spirit of cooperation displayed in the efforts being made to secure the hotel efforts which will be entirely suc cessful, it is known. Where interests seemed on the surface to conflict, they nave been harmonized or forgotten in a fixed determination to work together lor the common good. The first ef forts to have a new hotel here were not entirely successful, and there seemed many difficulties in the road. But these difficulties have been over come, the public spirit of Henderson ville, the full depth of which no man yet knows, has been aroused, and the best town in the south will soon he in a position to care more suitably for its enormous summer traffic and to enter the highly profitable field of winter resort business. It is pointed but that Asheville IIDING values its winter tourist traffic more than it does its summer business and that for years past accommodations there during the winter season have been at a premium. It is well known that the peculiar climatic advantages enjoyed by Hendersonville, and by no other town in Western North Carolina, will aid in bringing people here, and that a strictly modern hotel, and golf links comparable with any, will aid in keeping them here. When Hender sonville advertises its many and pe culiar advantages as Asheville adver tises, and as Los Angeles advertises, there will be imperative need of not one new hotel, but of many. These hotel men displaying so ac tive an interest in Hendersonville are keen, successful men of affairs : men who never invest in a dead town, and who do not like to wait too long for substantial returns upon any in vestment they may make. And that is why they are interested in this town a town built on these hills of sheer beauty, a town built where health comes almost without effort, a town built in the very heart of a re gion manifestly set apart by God for the refreshment of His people, a town built where but very few towns in all the world are built in the RIGHT place. And for these reasons, and for many other equally good reasons, Hendersonville is a fast growing town today, and tomorrow, perhaps, will be well started towards being a real city of substantial size. For the signs are here. This new hotel is but one of these signs. Successful business men recognize Hendersonville as a good place for investment they recognize that it is a coming important city, and they simply want to get in on the ground floor. TO RECEIVE WORLD SERIES News of the world series and the final results will be received at the Hunter Pharmacy each day the teams play. All Hendersonville fans will be pleased to hear this, for the world series vies with the peace treaty In popular interest. METHODISTS ENJOY QUARTET Several pleasing selections by the male quartet, , Messrs. S. T. Hodges, A. W. Honeycutt, A. C. Tebeau and J. S. Sargent, were enjoyed at the Methodist church Sunday evening. WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING There will be a meeting of the Wo- man s Club, next Wednesday, October 8, at the mayor's office in the city hall.

"There were about 150 people at the cemetery Sunday to witness the unveiling." They certainly do read The News" assured V. E. Grant. By some means The News had a understanding about the time of the unveiling, which is to be on the com ing Sunday instead of last Sunday. BOARD OF TRADE NOT TO MEET ON CHIMNEY ROCK The Hendersonville Board of Trade will not meet at Chimney Rock for its October meeting. The discon continuance of the cafe service on the rock would put the meeting to a lit tle inconvenience and other conditions not anticipated when the invitation was extended do not lend to the con venience of a meeting on the rock in October. Mrs, L. M. Dodamead and Mrs. Grace Gallamore have gone to Green ville to attend the re-union of sol diers : next week. Mrs . Dodamead will soon join her husband in Norfolk, Va., for the Winter.

H ' - SHOWING INTERIOR OF PATTERS ON'S DEPARTMENT STORE AND MEZZANINE FLOOR, WHICH IS TO BE EXTENDED ON EITHER SIDE OF STORE SO AS TO AFFORD MORE ADDITIONAL SPACE. FROM THIS FLOOR A STAIRWAY WILL LEAD TO THE NEW DE PARTMENT ON SECOND FLOOR OF BUILDING. H. Patterson, who a little more than a year ago startled the mercantile cir-cles-of Hendersonville by venturing inf j the business on an unprecedent ed scale for Hendersonville, announ ces further growth and enlargement of his business. His venture at the present business was termed as risky and hazardous. Old men at the game said that the business here would not justify the large scale planned by him, but he took the step and opened his large and up-to-date department store. Now he finds his quarters too small. He is to enlarge the balcony or mezzanine floor, which is the department for ladies. In addition to this he will run a stairway from this balcony to the large hall on the second ffoor of the building, which will be used exclusive ly as a department for ladies.

In addition to these quarters Mr. Patterson is conducting a store in the S. Johnston stand, announcement of which is contained elsewhere in The News. Mr. Patterson has just returned from New York. He reports that it is difficult to buy goods by reason of the scarcity. Authorities of New York are not looking for any decline in prices by reason of the heavy demands and the resultant shortage of goods. Some articles, he says, money will not buy because they are not on the mar ket. Mr. Patterson by words and his deeds manifests a great faith in Hen dersonville and its immediate future. He feels that within five years she will enjoy a rapid growth never be fore experienced . .'. . . .
