| COLOR AND THE “RUGGED MALE

Men Go for Color, Too, Graylynn Tests Show The tough-looking six-footer with the square, blue chin turned at the door to take a final look at the room he had occupied for a couple of days . . . There was the cunningly contrived pastel walls, the striped drapes, the gay accents of chartreuse and watermelon pink . . . . “By George,” says the guy, “that’s all right. Not bad. Not

the Graylynn. And that is that the day of the drab, mousey, dust-colored hotel room is gone forever. We were pretty cagey about it though. We only turned our decorator loose on a few rooms at first . . . We thought, “what will that hardwood salesman from Nashville say?” . . . and “should we maybe stick to the standard gray or buff?” How silly! Exposed to our controlled-color campaign, our male guests—as. well as the gentler sex—purred like kittens. And that settled it. Out went the monotones. In came the color—to stay. Stop at the Graylynn next time. We'll lay you 8 to 5 you'll find it more appealing, more soothing, more comfortable . . . Moderate rates.
