Mr. Forrest C. Allen, Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr, Allen:

We have just learned that your team is to play on Monday, December 30th
in Philadelphia, and as this hotel has personally adapted its entire accommodations
to the college man, we feel you will be interested in our rates.

As you no doubt know, this hotel is headquarters for practically every
college team playing in Philadelphia. Over a generation of experience in catering
to the college man and the various teams, has taught us to anticipate their needs,
and our trained staff offer you services and appointments you will not find in any
other hotel in this city.

We feel confident the following rates will be of interest to you:

Single room with bath - $2.50 per day.

Double room with twin beds and bath - $3.50 per day,
($1.75 per day each person).

Three or four men in a large room with bath, each with
separate bed - $1.50 per day each person.

I believe there is a distinct advantage in our heing located out of
the central part of the city, away from disturbing noises. We are also the near-
‘est hotel to Convention Hall where you play - within walking distance.

Also, we serve training table meals in a private room if you prefer,
at reasonable prices. We would be glad to send you sample menus if you so desire.

Should any further information be required, I would he happy to hear
from youe

Trusting we may have the pleasure of being host to you and your team
this season, I remain

Very truly yours,
HOTEL PH ELPHIAN
