  • Notes 
    • THE QUEEN'S HOTEL.

      The Queen's hotel, under the experienced guidance of Mr. F. A. Kraus, is one of the leading hostelries in this part of the country. It is a large three storey brick structure containing nearly 50 bedrooms, with large sample rooms. It is well conducted throughout. Whether the guest visits the bar or the dining-room, he will be assured of the best. The sheds and stables are especially large and comfortable and a feature decidedly progressive is a motor shed built specially for automobiles. The Queen's is therefore the headquarters for all motorists passing through New Hamburg. Rates $1.50 per day.
