Painting and Papering by Bugg Paint Co.
It is unusual to find a.hotel where the guest rooms as well as the public rooms are painted
and papered with the same quality and expert care expected of a beautiful private home.
Here, however, is such a hotel the walls and ceilings are painted, not kajsomined or the
walls are papered. The mahogany and gum woodwork is stained, rubbed, varnished.
The interior woodwork is painted and full enameled. Bathrooms, closets, halls every
portion of the building received equal care the best materials to be had, applied by care
ful and experienced workmen.
The result is seen in charming interiors beautiful, inviting rooms. More than that, it
means minimum depreciation, easily cleaned and economically kept surfaces for many
years. It pays to. buy good material and good workmanship.
We congratulate Mr. Roesch on the finished structure. We are proud to have had a part
in such a magnificent hotel.
