OF  COURSE  you  expect  more  than  just  a  room 

wherein  to  deposit  your  luggage  and  a  bed 
upon  which  to  recline  at  day's  end.  You  expect 
convenience,  for  one  thing—convenience  of  service 
and  of location.  You  expect things  to be  pleasantly 
comfortable,  too  . . ..  Everything  "tip-top,"  in 
short,  from  the  responsiveness  of  the  elevators  to 
the  softness  of  your  mattress.  Ample  reason  then 
for  stopping  at  the  Olds  where  just  such  modern 
comforts  and  conveniences  are  offered  for  your 
enjoyment.
