• Notes

  North American Hotel, King Street West, Dopp & McGarry, proprietors - One of the most reliable hotels in Berlin is that conducted by Messrs. Dopp & McGarry, and known as the North American. The present proprietors recently succeeded Mr. Henry Walder, Jr., the latter gentleman having conducted it for a number of years previously. The hotel is a three-story brick structure, 50x70 feet in dimensions. In it are contained 20 bedrooms, 2 parlors, sitting room, dining room, bar and billiard room containing 3 excellent tables. The bedrooms are well ventilated and comfortably furnished, and during the winter are well heated. The menu includes all the delicacies of the season as well as the more substantial, while the cuisine is all that the most fastidious could desire. The bar is well supplied with the best wines, liquors and cigars. Employment is given to seven competent and courteous attendants, who look well after the comfort of the guests. The rates of the house are one dollar per day. Messrs. Dopp & McGarry are both young men of much energy and practical business ability, and possess in an eminent degree those qualifications so essential to the successful management of an hotel.

Walder, Jr. proprietor, Stanley Street - The town of Ayr is happily well supplied with hotel accommodation; indeed, in this respect it will compare most favorably with the large cities of the Dominion. The finest hotel in Ayr is the Hilborn House, of which Mr. H. Walder, Jr. , is the proprietor. It is most eligibly located, being right in the heart of the town; it is a substantial brick structure, and is equipped with all modern appliances and accommodations of a first-class hotel. It contains 27 bedrooms, fitted up in the most approved manner, three parlors, which are models of their kind; there are also two sample rooms, a smoking and reading room, and a bar which is always supplied with choice liquors and cigars. During the cold season of the year the house is comfortably heated throughout and the rooms are always well ventilated, and the house is provided with all modern conveniences. In connection with the hotel are boarding and livery stables, and there is also a bus for all trains. Mr. Walder, the proprietor, is late of Berlin, having recently acquired the Hilborn House. He is a competent and experienced hotel keeper, and understanding the wants of the public, is deserving of the large patronage he already enjoys.1a Industries of Canada, historical and commercial sketches, Hamilton and environs [microform] : its prominent places and people : representative merchants and manufacturers : its improvements, progress and enterprise (1886) _____________ DEATHS Walder - At Chcago, Dec. 28th, Harry Walder, formerly of Preston and brother of Mrs. Geo.
