BAKER HOTEL

Bay City, Matagorda County, Texas
 


MRS. CATES PURCHASES THE BAKER HOTEL.

 

Mrs. Bennie Cates of Palacios has bought the Baker Hotel from Mrs. C. F. Baker and has opened the dining room to the public. We appreciate this very much, as those in Bay City who have to live at the hotels, and especially those who have been with Mrs. Baker so long who were forced to look elsewhere for meals during the time the dining room has been closed have had a hard time getting meals, owing to the large crowd of teachers here last week.

 

Besides this, Bay City needs the place open to help accommodate the traveling public. Mrs. Cates is not a stranger to us, as she was born and raised in Matagorda County.

 

Her many friends will join in a hearty welcome to our city and prove their appreciation by calling around and enjoying a fine dinner at popular prices. Knowing Mrs. Cates, as we do, we feel no hesitancy in saying she will make a success of the business.

 

We again bid her welcome and assure those who do not know her that they will find a home-like hotel where she abides.
