Pleasing particular people is our best joy in life

ΓNEOPLE who come to the Roose-

velt are interested in more than

just "bed and board/' They can get

that at any hotel. The fact that they

like the Roosevelt's extra share of

attention, comfort, and courtesy is

shown by our long list of guests

who come again and again and

again. All that you want, from sweet

dreams to superb food, athletic fa-

cilities and amusement—is here. And

the Roosevelt is next door to al-

most every place in New York.
