The' people 'make' the'- place, of
course. And if Is fortunate for the
v reputation, of 1 the Town of Hertford
that there ; are rach people as Mr.
and Mrs. J. G. -Campbell in charge- of
; "v the local hotel, " for" surely nobody
"'. could dispense hospitality with more
I), thoroughness of perfection than this
, 'couple, both of whom haver the. gift
. . ' of making each guest feel a very
personal welcome. ' .
The Campbells do this "under all
circumstances.' But they went a
step further in the case of the recent
guests 'at the' hotel who made a
forced atop because of a mishap to
themselves and. their car. They ren
dered personal kindnesses not to be
, . expected f rom the head of such an
establishment, . and ' certainly not
found everywhere.
The strangers, who through unfor
tunate circumstances were forced to
spend several days in Hertford, will
not remember Hertford as the place
, where they spent three dreary days
among strangers following one of the
most unpleasant experiences of their
lives, as well they might have done
but for the Campbells, who introduced
them to, friends, put them in touch
with interesting 'people, helped them
to pass the time. During their three
- day stay the Northern tourists re-
ceived a very definite impression that
' , Hertford is a fine place and that its
, citirens are friendly and. interesting
people, kind to strangers. t''irJ.
The' Hotel Hertford is an asset to
' ." the Town of Hertford. . May it con-
. . tinue to remain in . the hands of it
- present owners and managers, f and
, - .continue to p0:ti3
from the steady jmprovements being
made in the place it is prospering.
