For I; l'\i;is NO U; HOTEL COMMITTEE ACCEPTS CONTRACT OF WILLIAM FOOR Conspicuous Figure Among Hotel Men of Sitith Hero in I'erson to Dinrniw the Lwal Situation CAMPAIGN PLANNED Central Group Will Meet Friday Night to Decide L|h>ii Date for Drive to Finance Project The cent r a I committee sponsoring the plan for erec tion of a modern 100-room hotel here crossed its first bridge Saturday in accepting of a proposition from the Wil liam Foor Hotel Operating Company, of New York and Richmond, for operation of the proposed structure. The committee will meet again Friday night at 7:30 o'clock to decide upon the date for a campaign to tinance the hotel. The proposition was tendered personally by William Foor. pres ident of the hotel operating con cern bearing bin name, and also of the Foor-ltoblnaon Company, engaged in the ?ume business. It was accepted with minor changes, aH recommended by the committee on operations. This commltte*1 runiprlKt'H L)r. A. L. Pendleton. W. (1. Gait her und J. Wesley For ma n. The tentative contract will be re-drafted and submitted to .Mr. Poor for acceptance. William Poor Is a conspicuous figure among hotel men of the South. He own outright the O. Henry Hotel In Greensboro, re garded an one of the half doseu finest In the State. "I paid $600, 000 for that liotol." he told the CPinmll tee. "aiw* ItwaJUisaMtesae** around and borrowed $760.000 on II.V C. R. I'ugh. chairman of the central committee, declined to dis cuss the terms of the contract un der which tht Foor Interests will operute the hotel here,' other than lo say thai It was decidedly the best that bad been submitted, in the opinion of the committee. Two other operating concerns, the American Hotels Corporation, of New York, and the Interstate Hotel Company, of Italelgh. had entered into negotiations with the committee with rtSlrf to man agement of I he proposed new hos telry. William Foor told the commit tee he had been In active manage ment of hotel properties for the last 4 2 years, declaring he had been In the game so long he knew bow to buy to best advantage. "Long ago, I learned only to buy the best." he commented. "A live advertisement is the best you cun have for a hotel," he declared. "A man who Is pleased with your service, and goes away and tells somebody els* about It, Is worth all the road signs you can put tip." Mr. Poor's companies operate such hotels as the Washington Duke, in Durham, the Hotel Char lotte, In Charlotte, the George Vanderbilt, In Ashevllle--in all. a chain of 17 hotels, mainly in North and South Csrollns. He de clare? emphatically that the finest hotel in the South today Is the Wsshlngton Duke, with one ?f Atlanta's newest as the only clos competitor. In beauty, conveni ence and appointments. This matter of location Is one on which the operating compan ies have laid particular stress, al most. without an exception. Some have gone so far ss to state they'd rather pav $175.000 for a location they want'd. than to arcept, free of charge, a site they didn't ap prove. With a modern thester virtual ly assured through action taken In the last few days by the stock holders of the Carolina flanking 4k Trust Company, a growing sen timent is manifested here for early action on the erection of a hotel. The hope is expressed that both the theater and the hotel can be completed and In opera tion by the end of the year. THOUGHT OF GOD WAS I UPPERMOST AT LAST Fairmont. W. Va.. Jan. 1?.?
