A leading business man who recent
ly visited Omaha and stopped at the
Millard hotel , remarked after his re
turn home : "I am glad I put up at
the Millard. Great improvements
have been made in the hotel. The
rooms have been newly furnished ,
some of them very expenshely. I
have never sat down to a belter hotel
table. It only cost me 82 per day on
the American plan. I could have had
a higher priced room , but the room
as-signed to me was good enough for
anbody. . The service throughout the
hotel was first-class in ever\r respect.
The location of the hotel suits me ex
actly. It is just between the whole
sale and retail districts , convenient
to the banks , express and telegraph
offices and all street car lines. 1 shall
always itop at the Milliard when I go
to Omaha. Some stop at the Millard
on the European plan atl and up per
day. A cafe adjoins the dining room
for these yuests and th prices ; re
reasonable. I went on to Lincoln oi :
business.and had an excellent dinner
at the Lincoln. It is the only first-
class hotel in Lincoln and is mot > t con
veniently located opposite the depot.
The rates there are § 2 and up per day.1
