THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 44
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, October 23, 1907
-----
WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT MARLIN.
-----
New York Man Would Like to Spend
Winter Here.
-----
There is not a week
passes but that some one in some far off section of this great country writes
The Democrat for a sample copy of the paper or for special information
concerning the hot water, baths, hotels, etc. These letters demonstrate
two propositions--first, that Marlin is known far as well as near for its
wonderful waters; second, that many people who want to know will apply direct to
the local newspaper for information regarding the community in which it is
published. As The Democrat is a pioneer in the development of Marlin as a
health resort, we supply all such parties with the information they seek, if it
is to be had.
In the following case, the boarding and
bath houses are requested to send their cards and other advertising matter to
the gentleman at once:
Sag Harbor, N. Y., Oct. 15, '07.
Editor Daily Paper,
Marlin, Texas.
Dear Sir:--Kindly send me any names you
have of first-class boarding houses in your town, something in the line of
private houses. I am thinking some of spending the winter in Marlin; I
don't feel that I could afford to go to the best hotels but would feel satisfied
at a good private house.
Also could you let me know how cold it gets
in your place during the winter months, and any other information about the town
would be greatly appreciated by
Yours very truly,
J. A. King.
P. S.--Are the baths open to the public, at
regular rates, or only hotel guests?
