fifcf most popular hostelry
fro'wHßjifhburg to Durham.
AufKwnMy for this broad state
ment .dd™es from Assistant Post
master C. C. Garrett who reports
that -Burger has received more
Christmas Cards than anybody
else in town. In fact he has such
a big lead there’s no likehood
of anyone else catching up. The
postoffice boys say they stuff
his box with every incoming train
and still they Come. Most of them
go so far as to give him a 3 to 1
lead over all challengers.
Burger, a fat, jovial character,
is a classic example of good
humor, seldom exhibiting worry
or ill feeling. He came to Rox
boro from South Boston where
he operated tee Hotel Randolph..
Indicative of his popularity there
- the string of parties tehicli
’South Boston women hive
brought to his Hotel Roxboro.
Since his moving to Roxboro,
, the hotel has become tee social
, center of the town. Local women
no longer have to entertain at
home. There’s the Hotel Roxboro.
Bridge parties, receptions, ban
quote and follow, one
another in rapid succession at the i
Burger house.
Termed in a recent after-din
ner speech as “the maestro of
good food,” Burger had made his
hotel known far and wide for
tee excellence of its menu and
as far as it is publicly known, no
customer has ever left unsatis
fied.
