Petty, of Charlotte, will be interested in the following from to day's Charlotte Observer: "One of the most interesting an nouncements of the year in hotel and commercial circles is that of the pur chase by J. P. Sanders, well known! hotel man of Greensboro, of addition al interest in the Mecklenburg Hotel of this city, and of his removal to Charlotte January 1, where he will be permanently locate . Mi4, Sanders will be associated with Mr. W. C. Petty in the management of the' Mecklenburg, thereby relieving the latter of some of the heavy burdens .that he has shouldered and very suc cessfully carried ever since the Mecklenburg was opened to the public .'January 1, 1914. Mr. Sanders also owns a substantial interest in the Stonewall here and has other large hotel holdings throughout North Caro lina. He is Interested in the Yadkin at Salisbury and the LaFayette at Fayetteville and only recently dispos ed of his lease interest in the Leelahd at Danville, Va. He Is alsO: a stock holder in the Hufiine in Greensboro. That he is a most resourceful, ener getic' and successful hotel man goes without saying. "The Mecklenburg is probably the largest commercial hotel in the State, with 200 rooms in regular service, to say nothing of sample rooms, assem bly halls and all the accessories of a modern hostelry embraced beneath its roof. The structure was erected in 1913 and opened to the public Jan uary 1, 1914, and has been managed and directed ever since by Mr. Petty. The task has been a very heavy one, so much so that recently when Mr. Sanders made overtures looking to ac quiring ah additional stpek interest and the assumption of a portion of the burdens of management, Mr. Petty took kindly to the idea and the deal 1 consummated Thursday was the re j suit. This means that Mr. Sanders will bring his family to this city; ' "Mr. Sanders is one of the most ' aggressive hotel men in the Southeast. He . is a resourceful populariser, a hard worker, and believes that the best is not too good for those who are - ihis guests. This means that under his co-operative management the ; Mecklenburg will go forward to even larger things in a hotel way in Char lotte. ;; ; " j i ... "Mr." Sanders formerly lived in I Charlotte and ever, since he left here njahy years ago has been planning to return some time. This is, therefore! 1 the fulfillment , of another ? of : his Srearns' of long standing.' His, many friends will give ; him a cordial wel-, 'jcome.,- 1 - ' " i 'Bi'ki A :, Williams, , better known ' as Billy4 Williams, has. also arrived An: Charldtteahd . will be Ideated: here; in? 2E353CBffin High Out SHOES THE KIND YOU WANT BEST QUALITY TAN ELKSKIN LEATHER.
