“The wealthy American expects comfort when he "travels, and he is willing to pav, and pay big, for luxuries,” said an American who arrived in Wanganui last week by river steamer. “If this little country of yours wants to do business with American tourists it must provide accommodation similar to what is available in the States. Your hotels need not be as large, but thev should be equipped with' all modern conveniences in use in America. We Americans like our tub better than our meals, and we don’t like having to wait in a queue to get it. 'A bath tub to every bedroom’ should be the motto of vour hotels if they want the American- tourist’s patronage.”
