NUTT HOT EI

I. (. I!K I .M/KK, I'ROl'lUKTOR.

JHERK is there a citv similar size in which has more excellent hotel facilities than ours?

1 ndiana

Among the number we must not tail to

mention the famous Nutt House. I

ing, obliging and courteous manner

and courteous

has built up an immense patronage for this popular and well known house. Mr. lirenizer came to Crawfordsville from Alliance, Ohio, in November of S90, bearing splendid recommendations from such cities as Cleveland, Akron and Alliance, Ohio, where at the latter place he had been proprietor of the the "Arlington'

for

a period of five years. I hat he had

fully merited these honors there is' no

question of a doubt, as the satisfaction

he has given here and Ins already very

extensive and increasing trade has

proven. A statement of the enormous

amount o{ patronage given him seems incredible, but it is an astonishing fact that over 12,000 persons have enjoyed his hospitality within the past year. The superior character of accommodations afforded by the Nutt. Hotel have secured for it a leading place in the favor of the traveling public. Its 40 splendid rooms are finely furnished ihroughout, and everything is neatly and well kept. The house is a splendid brick structure. Seven large and commodious sample rooms for the use of the traveling salesmen to display their goods add greatly to their convenience. The rooms ar heated by natural gas and the proprietor expects to put in a full system of electric lights in the near future. The accommodations are not surpassed if equaled by any house of similar rates in the State.

All departments are carefully looked after by a corps of competent assistants. A more valuable helpmate could not be found than Mrs. Hrenizer, whose accomplishments as a hostess have added greatly to the wholesome hospitality of the house. The cooking department is directly under her personal supervision. The big hearted clerk. E. H. Comer, iamiliarlr known as "Hop." who has been identified with the hotel inteiests oft this city for tw elve years, still reigns supreme behind the register.

Mr. lb enizer is a man of thoroughly business methods and enjoys general respect as a substantial, generous and worthy citizen and has, by his untiring efforts placed this hotel head and shoulders above any in our city and among the best in the State. Don't fail to stop at the "Nutt."

is one of the largest and most far reaching in its operations of any of its kind to be found anywhere! in this section of the country. Operating with ample capital and in a most systematic manner, this staunch and reliable firm is enabled to push its business beyond what is popularity termed the local trade territory, encroaching upon fields claimed by 1 other and distant, trade centers.

The most, determined competition is met- cheerfully, and at, all points, and we do not believe any one else has so strong a hold upon this line of trade

HIS lirin came here from Indianapolis last August and since that time has been a large contributor to the

business interests of our city. They are the most extensive importers of

registered Hackneys in America. Their object for coming to Crawfordsville was on account of the better advantages offered. For here

they can handle their stock much better and cheaper than in Indianapolis. All the animals they imported last year have been desposed of and

they have just received another large lot of choice animals direct from Kngland. Their motto has been low

prices, good terms, combined ,with good treatment and fair dealing. The amount of business done is enormous and is increasing all the

time. Mr. A. H. Thompson has charge of the stables here and is an adept in the business.
