"Greeters" Ready
for Every Guest
At Eugene Hotel
Every guest who enters the Eugene
hotel will bo joyfully nnd warmly
greeted by nn official "Greeter," for
every -clerk in the organization is n
member of this national organiza
tion. Thousands of clerks ali over
the United States belong to the so
ciety, and only men who nro highly
recommended and capable can main
tain memberRhip, it is stated.
The organization was formed sev-.
eral years ago by a group of ambiti
ous hotel men, who desired to exten!
the doctrine of genuine hospitality all
over the country. Regular conven
tions are held, at which new ideas
for the comfort and convenience tf
hotel guests nro .discussed.
"Greeters must at all times bo
jovial and jolly," says E. K. (Andy)
Anderson head clerk at the hotel.
"Aside from the fact thnt we feel it
is part of our business to be courte
ous and friendly, we find that we
thoroughly enjoy our work when
pleasant conditions prevail. Every
man nnd woman responds to courtesy,
nnd in our positions we receive more
than ample return for our efforts to
make things pleasant for other people.
The host of friendships we form are
the most valuable and most enjoy
nble things in the world, something
that is a constant source of inspira
tion." Members of the "Greeters" wfio
stnnd ready to prove their worth to
membership in this order nt the Eu
gene hotel are "Andy" Anderson,
Harry Shaw, nnd Van Realty.
"Save the surface ami you save
all, is an excellent mm ,.n
say the managers of the new Eugene!
hotel, and they sot about saving the!
surface of the new hotel from the'
very start. The highest qualitv paints,!
furnished by O'ltoy'a paint shop, of'
this ciiy, were u$ed throughout the
entire buildmg. i
All woodwork within is finished 1
with a deep, rich finish that adds the
final touch to the interior. Brown
mahogany is used in ail rooms, and j
on woodwork in all halls, while the
same gt-ueral scheme is carried out '
in other pans of the building. The j
work was done by expert painters, I
and with the high quality of paint I
used, the finish is as pert eel as '-.in!
be obtnmed. it is said.
High Quality Used
'Ve insist in paints of the high-;
est quality in all of our work,' de- i
dares Mr. OUny, ' and the Eugene !
hotel was no exception to this rule, j
Especially essential for the first time!
is a high grade of surface covering, 1
for if a lower quality is used, trouble j
is bound to ensue, lty using first
class materials, and applying them ex
pertly, nut only a beantitul but a last
ing finish is obtained."
AH guest rooms are finished with
an old ivory ceiling thnt gives n most
pleasant tone to the interior. Urange
cream in a warm rich hue is used on
all walls, while the woodwork is then
finished in brown mahogany.
The lobby, in order to better with
stand constant use, is finished in dull
iiahogany. This forma an ndmtrnble
(ontrnst, however, for the light ar
tistically decorated . ceilings. The
dining room is finished in old weath
ered oak, which blends beautifully in
to the soft Egyptian decorative mo
tiff. Old rose and deep blue are '.i.ed
to help effect this charming blend.
All exterior work is finished in a
cream color, to blend in with the warm
stucco finish of the building. Matei-inls
tided on the building include Old
Dutch eimmttla, Dutch Roy white
lead, nnd the best of varnishes and
stains.
Mr. O'Day has had 22 years exper
ience in his line, and is regarded ns
one of the most expert paint men In
this part of the state. In addition
to the new hotel, he hns handled

TO ERECT HOTEL
hollow strips about 10 inches wide

steel lath aud plaster were applied at
the selling f the rooms, this vacant
space, aided in the fireproof souud
deadening factors which are part of
the feature construction of the tew
hotel.
Something new to local contractors
was ued in building the new Eugene
hotel. Structural form steel pan
which held up the concrete floors uu
til they hardened snf f.cieutly to stand
alone were used on the new Eugene
hotel. These steel pans Itl inch-
wide by 3ti inches long were braced
up by iti stringers and proved a real
soccfss, state the builders.
This idea of quirk form placing w.t
hi ought to Eugene by representative
of the D. E. Fryer company, neel
contractors of Portland. Mr. Wright,
member of the company etsff. eann
to Eugene nnd hud the foundnti in
and mapped out a process of pan lay
ing for the remaining floors which
proved a uYc'iI'hI success both iu time
am! labor saving, stated Mr, Mar
grave. Jack Reattie, field repre
sentative of the Fryer company, took
up the work following .the completion
of the fourth floor and finished the
work started by Mr. Wright,
This type of construction was nw
to the contractors of Eugene as the
pant could he taken out and ued on
the nest floor ami nTter the comple
tion of the building they were shipped
to another city T-r similar use.

John Eck Hailed
As "Born Director
of Dining Rooms'
j "A man born to direct a high class
i dining room," that is the way John
; F.i-k, bead waitet, wines recommended
I to the new Eugene hotel. Mr. Eck
before the war, wns a resident of
! Germany, where his father owned one
of the most exclusive of large hotels,
j It was a favorite wiih Americans,
(and here Mr. Eck was so impressed
with the vigorous people from across
the sea that he resolved to become
one of (hem, aud when quite young
came to America.
Me naturally went into hotel and
restaurant work, nnd shortly before
coining to Eugene, he held an import
ant post it ion in the dining depart
ment of the St. Paul railroad, where
the first dining service of any rail
road had been developed.
With his rich background of exper
ience Mr. Eck has combined a very
pleasant manner, ami a very pleasing
personality, and a quick ability to for
see any wish that a diner might hnve.
Many out-of-town people are ex
pected in for the grand opening of
the Eugene hotel, and the upper
Willamette river district will be
particularly well represented, de
clares Dr. 1j. W. Peate, president of
t he 1 hi k ridge chamber of com mere".
"Many Oakridge and Westfir peopl
will be down for this gala event,"
says Dr. Peate, and we expect to he
shown the finest hotel in the st.ite
of Oregon.
"Oakridge nnd the ui.T Willam
ette country nnurallj u faring Eu
gene's pride :n this new structure,
for U means that this whole district
ii thrlring. We expect to ses sev
eral more stories on the building whi-a
the main line of the Southern Paci
fic up tliis way is finished. Onkridge
then expects to una the Eugcnff hotel
ns a model fr a similar building
here."
Guests In the hotel over the Fourth
of July are extended a hearty Intita
ti( n by Dr. Peate to come to Uak
ridge for the big "end of Steel" reh
bration which will be held there July
4 and X "The people who come up
will pee some of the finest timber :a
the world, and they will be given a
chance to inspect the new railroad
project. Then they will realixe why
Eugene Lad to bui'd a new h"tel. and
why this district is growing by lea'ii
