J. Coffman, aew urriral from Portland and for mer hotel man of Indianapolis. Ind., who will conduct the property un der the new name of the Ashland hotel. Mr. Coffman arrived In AbIi land with Mrs. Coffman and son "Bobby" Saturday evening, after a motor trip from Portland where Mr. Coffmun is well known in hotel circles. Contrary to previous reports the new proprietor Is "playing a lone hand," and does not represent the Interests of Portland hotel men. He takes over the hotel today In celebra tion of his birthday. He states thai he was reminded this morning by Mrs. Coffman that he had a good sized birthday present. The. lease and furniture of the hotel property was purchased a short time ago by Mr. Coffman from I). Perozzi, Mis. Minnie Parker and Camilla Owen, who had taken possession of the ho tel several weeks ago following de fault of payments from the Ashland Development corporation who were at that time operating the hotel. Many Improvements In preparation for the new man agement and pursuant to plans of Mr. Cofrman, D. Perozzt ha beer, making Improvements throughout the property which enables Ashlund to boast of a hotel affording first class accommodations under the management of Mr. Coffman, who Is an experienced hotel man and Is familiar with the methods of the best hotels on the Pacific coast. He Is a young man and Is out to "make a go of the proposition." Will Open Dining Room "With the opening of the dining room," Mr. Coffman states," we will be prepared to give the people of Ashland and stopping motorists who would otherwise pass on, a meal that will be an advertisement for the ho tel and Ashland. I am now making changes In the furnishings of several of the roroms throughout the build ing and It Is my aim to give service that will be second to ijpne of the hotels throughout the state. I am anticipating loyal support from the merchants and residents of Ashland to make the hotel a big success and as things develop, continually Im prove the property with an eye for greater business." Well Pleased with Ashland As salesmanager for a largo soft drinks bottling house, Mr. Coffman first visited the city. "I was attrart- A " Mr. Coffman states, "by the great beauty of the city and the sur rounding country. At the time I real ized the need of a first class and atrlctly modern hotel. On a recent tonr of Southern Oregon by auto with Mrs. Coffman and my son, Bobby, I learned that the property was for sale. I had previously talked to hotel men between here and Port land. In all snch cases this city has been recommended as the logi cal place for a good hotel, owing to the great amount of tonrlst travel through Ashland. Consequently opened negotiations with Mr. Perozzl the early part of this month, and here I am, raedy for business. The new dining room to be opened the last of this week will fill a long felt want on the part of Ashland peo ple, as well as the large number of tonrlsts who pass through the city dally. In an interview with Mr. Coffman today, the Tidings was asked to correct a statement made In the issue of July 28 to the effect that the dining room would be op erated as a cafeteria. It will be op erated as a first class dining room. Mr. Coffman has engaged the serr Ices of P. Vasseau, a highly com petent French chef with wide experi ence, and It Is the intention to make .k. ...i.in. nf the Hotel Ashland the n smm IT'S A BEAR!
