It is Called the Escalante

"Newest and best built of all the Santa Fe station hotels"-that's the way Mr. Black, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Santa Fe, describes the new depot-hotel at Ash Fork, Arizona, which was opened March 1, 1907, under management of Fred Harvey.

And this, notwithstanding the fact that the traveling public had supposed the Alvarado, Cardenas and Castaneda-the famous trio of Santa Fe hotels at Albuquerque, Trinidad and Las Vegas,-represented everything superlative in Southwest inn-keeping.

Hotel Escalante is located away out in Arizona, where the Santa Fe branch to Prescott and Phoenix leaves the main California line. Travelers in that region will now enjoy staying at Ash Fork longer than merely between trains.

The building is of steel and concrete construction, which makes it absolutely fire-proof;

is surrounded by wide verandas and tastefully furnished. It has adequate capacity and provides every accessory of a high-class metropolitan hotel.

The architecture is "old mission." has hot and cold water, steam (when necessary), electric lights and phones. There is a large lobby, a lounging room, also writing room, barber lunch room, shop, and buffet. Nearby is an Indian building, where is gathered an exhibit of Indian handicraft, second only to the one at Albuquerque.

Following the Santa Fe custom of naming its best hotels after the Spaniards of the Conquest, this one commemorates that noted padre, Francisco Silvestre Velez Escalante-who sojourned here in 1776. The place where he crossed the Colorado river in Grand Canyon is now known as El Vado de los Padres-"The Crossing of the Fathers."

The Farmer's Guide

is the salesman you want. It will not only call on the right sort of people for you, but it will give you the benefit of its "pull" with these people. It has been enlarging and strengthening (because serving perfectly) this clientele for nearly twenty years, the result being that no other agricultural salesman gets a "look in" in this territory.
