John Tracy has been the owner and proprietor for many vears. There are hotels anywhere with more attrscI tive rooms or in which the service and | equals those at the Lafayette, j Colonel Tracy is very critical in the ! matter of food and no guest at the i Lafayette receives at , breakfast, ; or dinner, anything but the ! food the market affords. Cold j storage products are barred. Oolong f : is a master at hotel organization ! and after he has arranged matters the j ho'el runs like the proverbial "clock j work'" with neitber jar nor friction.
