To Open 5-Cent Hotel

1914

Bed and Bath For That Sum is Philanthropy of Rufus F. Dawes

Chicago, Jan. 2. — Hope for the man with a few nickels will take a tangible form when the Rufus F. Dawes hotel opens.

A bed and a bath for a nickel, soup for two cents, coffee at the same price, rolls for one cent each and pie for three cents are the features which promise to make the Dawes hotel popular from its start.

Patrons are required to take a bath. They are furnished with clean clothes. Beds and all other appliances are of the most sanitary pattern.

For the particular guest who can afford the extra expense there are private rooms. These cost ten cents a night. A compulsory free bath is attached to the rental of these rooms.
