American Journal Under the headlines "Where East Meets West" and "The New Hotel Cathay in Shanghai," the following article appears. in the well-known publication, the "American Export-for:" Tucked away in each issue of the "American Exporter" the world traveller will find a pie tire of some noted hotel in some part of the world where copies of this pablic tion will always be found on file In recent months Shepheard's in Cairo, the Regis in Mexico City, the Plaza' in Havana, the Gloria in Rio de Janeiro, andthe Excelsior in Naples have been among those shown in this gallery But two entire pages in this issue fare given over to one of these famous hotels, one of the newest Jand perhaps the most unique.
It came about this way:—One W.
M, Pringle, associated with the Pry: fant Paper Company, has for many years supplied the "American Ex-"with the paper on which it printed. In the fullness of time, though still a young man, he made trip around the world. Thus he became a constant reader of the publication he has so long provided with paper. And he came to. the new Hotel Cathay in Shanghai.
Paper manufacturers are not] necessarily good editors, but Mr. Pringle proved that he is both. For hho promptly visualized that hotel in four pages and he secured an album for photographs of this really re-uble hotel and brought it into our ofice on his return.
Furthermore, the album reached I sanctum on a day when pers were featuring not only civil war in China but some outbreaks in South America.
And. this magnificent Hotel Cathay is in China, where civil war has been waging for yours. And it wax only built Inst year. If this is the sort of hotels they are building in China nov, ranking with the finest in the world, what would they do were peace to come? It is not nly the splendour of the hotel and its appointments that deseive an unusual dexree, a truly international hotel.
