GREENFIELD'S NEW HOTEL ENTER PRISE.
We Are to Have a' Building With all Modern Conveniences.
Some of our most enterprising citizens are at the head of a movement to secure for Greenfield a first-class hotel. The idea is to form a joint stock company, capitalized at $30,000 and erect a three story, 60-room hotel, with all modern conveniences. The building is to be located on the Bradley lot on East Main street. This location would cause ail comers to pass entirely through the business portion of the city to reach their stopping place and would therefore not be a bad thing for the city. As busses always meet al' trains, the slight in-, creased distance would amount to nothing. Traveling men all speak of Greenfield as a prosperous and progressive city but say, and very truthfully, too, that we have no good hotel building.
The men who are at the headi of this enterprise and who have already taken stock, insure, its success. The prime movers are: W. C, DuJding, W. H. Moore, Lee C. Thayer, Sam P. Gordon, F. G. Banker, J. M. Hinchman and others equally as well known and successful business men. These men are willing to put in considerable money, but as all the city will be bedefitted, they desire that it shall be a public enterprise in which all shall take a share and assist. Let our people come to the front and

once taking stock and encouraging others to do so and build a hotel that will be an honor and a credit to it. Local pride is one of the best things in the world for a city and its citizens. By it every one in a city is impelled to do their best, not only to better their own condition, but also to better and advance all public enterprises. The thing to do right now is to build a hotel.
