6 B fRE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 21. 1917. Solid Comfort in The Furnishings ' Of Saottd Hotel . Furnishing and decorating a new hotel is a big chare. It requires many hours of careful examination and there are many details which the cas ual observer would not think of. The furniture of the, new 'Sanford cost $35,000. A trip through the home-like lobby, corridors and rooms suggests the thought that somebody ha'd a lot' of detail work to look after. Mrs. Mary H. Conant and her son, Harlcy G. Conant, spent much time in the selection of the hotel appoint ments. Jacobean oak furniture pre dominates throughout the hotel. Spanish leather easy chairs and set tees have been placed in the lobby. Some of the beds are of art metal and others of splid oak. The rooms are furnished with dressers of high-grade quality, Cadillac writing tables and chairs of superior quality. Heavily cushioned rockers, settees ol cane, rerstan tapestries ana uri- VISIT The Sanford Cigar St anil "The Latest in Cigar Store Equipment."

Beselin &Son ental rugs add to' the charm of the women's side of the lobby, while the men's side is furnished with Axmin stcr rugs and Spanish leather chairs. The floor of the lobby is covered with Terraza marble, which gives a pleas ing effect to the scene. Suspended from the ceiling of the lobby are thir teen Brasco light fixtures, which send forth a soft alow of semi-direct light. The lighting fixtures in other parts of the hotel are of the semi-direct variety and finished in dull bronze. Solid comfort and neatness are the words which are coniured by the mind of the visitor as he walks throunh this newlv appointed hos telry. The beds are inviting and the chairs bid one tarry and rest within their comfortable spaces. Carpets and wall paper harmonize in' a pleas ing color scheme and after nightfall the soft light from the artistic fixtures' sheds radiance which completes the symphony to please the eye. Marble-lined bath rooms have a charm of their own and "every pros pect pleases" at this new hotel. Safety, Service and Saving Features Of Hotel Sanford 'I just had a thought," remarked Harley G. Conant, as he was super intending the finishing touches of the interior of the new Sanford hotel. " 'Safety, service and saving' will be the slogan of the Sanford hotel," he continued. "Just take a walk around with me and I will show you that the building is absolutely fireproof. The only woodwork you will find in the construction is that which was used in the doors and the window frames. How's that for safety first? It means something to a guest to feel that he is safe in a hotel. "And as for service, I might state that we have an ideal location, on the line of the depot street cars, near the retail district and the theaters, and we have in the hotel a first-class cafe, barber shop and free shower baths on every floor for those who do not care for private baths in their rooms.

The Opening of the New Sanford Marks the Completion of Another Large Hotel Furnishing Contract By the Orchard Wilhelm Company I Eyery yard of Fine Wilton Carpet, Every Beautiful Rug, as . well as every Piece of Furniture, in this magnif iceni new Hotel : was ordered through-Orchard & Wilhelm Co. specially de- signed arid made by reputable manufacturers to meet the re- ' quirements of this modern type of hotel. f Inthefaceof factories being over-run with orders, the freight enne-estion. etc.: this laree order has been handled in a re- 1 1 markably short time, allowing the Hotel to open up on time 1 with all furnishings installed complete.

Every room is furnished substantially and comfortably and no detail has been overlooked for the comfort and convenience of guests. "We are going to save money for our cuests. Our rates will be SI. 50 for the rooms with private baths or showers and SI lor the rooms with private toilet rooms. Just two rates and all of the comforts of a high- priced hotel. Mr. Conant further explained that the cashier, check clerk, telephone ex change and other administration features have been arranged in a com pact space at the south side of the lobby. Mrs. Conant was busy at the time directing work on the various floors and she might have been mistaken for one of the "hired hands" rather than the mistress of an extensive hotel corporation. "There is nothing like looking after the details of a hotel if you would succeed," remarked this suc cessful business woman. Sanford Property Sold For $12,500 Decade Ago Just eleven years- ago the property on which the new Sanford hotel now stands sold for $12,500. Mrs. Elizabeth Dufrene, upon the advice of C F.

The great increase in the value of this property, real estate men insist, is conclusive evidence of the rapid strides Omaha has made in the last decade and of the wisdom of invest ment in Omaha Omaha real estate. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. Hotel fawners Suffer From Likeness of Names Mr. and Mrs. W. C Stevens, pro prietors of the Eureka hotel, have been subjected to much annoyance by the fact that a couple, arrested at their hotel in connection with the "dope trust" investigation, gave their names as Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. The landlord and his wife are in no way connected with the arrest.
