Do you know about our Hotels - if not – the “Palmer HouseEditorial Note: The Palmer House hotel was established by Potter Palmer, but thirteen days after it opened its doors, it was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of October 1871. Palmer rebuilt the hotel and it reopened on November 8, 1873. It is still in operation today and is the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States. Although Eddy did not stay at the Palmer House on this visit to Chicago, she did stay there during her 1888 visit to the city.” is by far the best one for your business - either European or American plan – centrally located & prices to suit all degrees – Pardon me if your arrangements are all made – but I am an old Chicagoan & felt that you might be strange –
