To Travelers!

Saturday Evening Press, January 10, 1878

In 1878, Menasha was only four years removed from becoming a city and was still finding its way.  Mr. R. M. Scott, local civic leader and owner of the National Hotel ensured those who read his advertisement for the hotel had additional information touting the area's strong points to encourage visitors. Written in typical flowery nineteenth century language, he even promises that sportsmen had "no lack of pleasurable novelties."  Not sure what that meant, but count me intrigued!
