Friendly Service
Always Assured
at Denison's Hotel
I
The policy of the (Hotel Deni-
son, now in the midst of National
Hotel week observance, has ever
been one of the friendly, thought-
ful service and this policy is be-
ing exemplified under the excel-
lent management of George Lea-
therwood, who has tho role of
guiding the institution's affairs.
Mr. Leatherwood believes the
home-town hotel should he the
hub of all civic and social activi-
ties, clubs, parties and banquets,
and he is doing just that—make
the hotel the meeting place of
friends and business visitors.
Great improvements have been
made in the hotel in the past two
or three years and even today it
is again undergoing more repair-
ing and remodeling ranking with
the better hotels of the tftate.
The week has for its theme,
"Hotels an asset to the communi-
ty. A service to the nation,"
and Mr. Leatherwood backed by
the hostelry's officers intend to
make the local hotel live up the
challenging slogan.
Officers of the Denison Hotels,
Inc., are Mrs. T. J. Long, presi-
dent; Mrs. Julian C. Feild. vice-
president and director; S. C.
Knaur and Paul Platter, direct-
ors.
Mr. Leatherwood explains that
through its affiliations with hotel
groups and associations through
out the nation, Hotel Denison of-
ten becomes of service to trip-de
parting Denisonians.
He explained that hotel reser-
vations in distant cities are as
sured through the service of any
available Information desired can
be obtained from the "Red Book,"
as to facilities, rates, etc., in any
city. _ .I
Strike At
Kraft Soon
Is Settled
After being out on a strike for
a three and a half day period
some 300 employes led in the
strike by their business agent,
Harry White, returned to their
work at the Kraft Cheese com-
pany plant Tuesday.
The trouble was
salary, the I employes
the wages agreed on,
matter at first called
but which proved to be, accord-
ing to information, what is
termed seni irity rights. In terms
of the unir. itructed it is the right
of a worker to remain on the job
and let a r.iore efficient one stay
off, if the less efficient one has
bepn longer around the plant.
After staying off the job from
Friday noon to Tuesday after-
noon, a representative from the
U. S. Department of Labor got
on the job as conciliator and the
difficulties were ironed out.

REFRIGERATOR
(THE HEART OF YOUR HOME)
O UMMER is here. Right now
^ your Electric Refrigerator
has more work to do... more
important work than ever before
because of Food Rationing.
AND, because it cannot be re-
placed for the duration, you'll want
to give your Electric Refrigerator
unusual care. Keep it in good work-
ing order ... do the little things
which will help it give you its best
performance... call your repair man
before any serious trouble develop*.
Practically all of the employes
who went on strike are from our
Ibest families here and are not
given to making trouble in the
ranks of labor and have not de-
sired interruption with their work
and are glad the matter is settled
The organization known as the
Dairy Employes Union is the
union to which the strikers be-
longed. It is the first labor trou-
ble of any kind in Denison in a
long time and Indicates that in
the main the Denison workers
are not seeking the strike method
of handling their business and
they gave a ready ear to the) con-
ciliator, E. W. Flumey who came
here from Dallas.
