Chinese dinner to mark opening of hotel
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
March 3, 1921
Jim Livermore, who
bought the City hotel a few
weeks ago, invited some
50 guests to the opening, at
which he served a great din-
ner. Two long tables were
spread in the dining room
and every seat was fi lled.
Mr. Livermore was born in
California of Chinese par-
ents and so is an American
citizen. It was proposed that
he prepare a real Chinese
dinner some time, when all
his guests would return and
enjoy the novelty.
There will be a dance
next Wednesday night for
members of the I.O.O.F. and
Rebekahs in the Odd Fel-
lows hall. Music will be fur-
nished by the high school
orchestra.
