WHEN owners of Hotel Argo ordered improvements making this Salem hostelry one of the
city's finest, they recognized the fact that "modernization" and "electrification" are synon
ymous. Hotel Argo is justly famous as a place where lovers of good food can enjoy real family style
cooking. And because Hotel Argo wanted not only to preserve this reputation, but to improve
upon it as well with new innovations in service, the kitchens, dining room and banquet hall were '
completely electrified. '";:'Vv-" -:' -
MEALS coming from the all-electric, sanitary and efficient kitchen in the new Hotel Argo will
be more savory than ever before. Tbey will be eaten in surroundings made more pleasant and ,
comfortable by new electric ventilating equipment, better illumination and many other improve-
ments in which electricity plays an important part. . -
HOTEL ARGO has followed the trend toward greater electrification a trend that is being felt
everywhere that people demand the ultimate in modern living.
