TRAVELING MEN
HELPING HOTEL
Major F. S. Dakor, who U tho coast
representative for tho Peck Clothing
Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., was In the
city today. Mr. Dakor makes his
headquarters at Portland, and inci
dentally learned about tho movement
for a new hotel in our city, which
pleased him very -much; In fact, to
such an extent that ho vory cheerful
ly signed up for ten shares of tho
stock in tho new concern. Mr. Daker
is an active member or the Oregon
National Ouard, and comes In con
tact with the military pcoplo as well
as the commercial men of tho coun
try. He Is enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of tho hotel business, and
says bo knows or no place In tho
Northwest where there is as good an
opportunity as In Salem for a profit
able investment in that line. That Is
why he wants to be one of tho stock
holders In the new Salem enterprise.
Ho says the hotel business has in
the past decade grown in a manner
which Insures Its being profitable
wherever conducted, under right con
ditions. This is another reason why
he wants some of this stock Travel
ing men today pay 14 00 per day at
a hotel more cheerfully than they

paid 1 00 por day ten years ago, in
fact, tho fratornity of traveling men
has undergono a comploto ohango. It
requires a higher class of cltltonshlp,
or intelligence and euucatlon to rep-,
resent the large concerns with the re
tail trado than In former years. This
fact has bad much to do with tho evo
lution of tho hotel.
Mr. Maker is convinced that Balem '
Is Just proporly located to rtcolvo lib
eral patronage rrom traveling men.
and especially for Sunday business.
Ho thinks a now modern hotel would ,
Insuro dozens of such visitors every
(Sunday In the yea, and many of
' them would bring their wives and j
! families to a good hotel, where thoy I
jean spend a ploasant Sunday together '
At present, he sa)s. many travelers'
come to Salem and transact a day's
business, then return to PortlHud tor i
the uight. and como back the next I
day to Onlsh tholr busltuws. In order '
to be In a modern, sanitary, up-to-,
dato hotel. This fact alone speaks
volumes for the now enterprise on
1 foot in Salem, and It is another rea
son why Major Dakor subscribed for
somo stock In tho new hotel, which.,
we hope, will prove a credit and a
profit to Oregon s Capital City
