Name Castle Hotel
- Quite Impressive
When yon analyse tha two words ''Cst
tl hotel" yaw find quite an Impressive
etymology.
Castle la Itself suggests medieval lords
and ladles and rulers over tbo people and
leaders In great wars.
"Hotel" cornea from the French and
originally mean! a paler or residency
for lords and great personages. It fre
quently Is used In Franoe to indloat a
private city dwelling or a large town
mansion -and even ocaasaloMlly to Indi
cate an Inn of extraordinary style and
pretensions. The name of the city hall In
French jcltlea la "hotel de vllle" or man
sion of the city.
In Thackeray'a "Keweomee" la a,
passage Indicating this old meaning of
Hie word hotel, that of a city dwelling of
som pretensions:
. "This venerable peMeman. tl Comta
da Florae, had bU chambers looking out
Into tba garden of his hotel The rest of
the hotel he give up to hie sob, the
Vlcomte de Florae and Madame la Prin
cess de Montcontour, his daughter-in-law.",
House of Safety
, Slogan of Castle
Tijt slogan, watchword and talisman of
tha new Castle hotel Is to le "Tha House
Of Safety."
Safety la to be first, seooud, third and
last Safety ia to' be most Important at
all times and at all places within the
aU of the new hostlery.
a says Manager Fred Caatls, and he
t iik at gseater satisfaction la this feature
of his bU hotel than In any of Ita other
attractive; features.
The absolutely rireproof quality of the
building la. perhaps, the biggest evidence
of this safety first Ideal. But there or
alee many others, auoh, for Instance as
the solf-cloalng elevstor doors.
"The pub? will soon find the Castle
1 right In tfie very lead with all the
comforts and luxuries of total accommo
dation," Sold Mr. Castle, "but back of
these comforts and above (ham aad be
yond them 1 the safety element which
ere making the most important of
all"-
