CD-ROM Edition. Excerpt: I was talkin' some with a young fellow back here who said he was a hotel agent; but I don't mind if I go where you say. How high are your rates?" "The Auditorium--as high as you want to go; the Northern, fourteen stories, and the Palmer, out of sight." "Well, Mister, we don't want to go out of sight, and we don't know how high we do want to go so I guess you'd better make it fourteen stories." The agent took the checks, gave him some tickets and passed on. In a few minutes a uniformed young man came along and said: "Mr. Jones, I'd like very much to book you for one of our down-town hotels. Every convenience, gas, baths, heat, and all the modern appliances; near car lines that land you right at the Exposition gates. Best place in the city. Take you right there free of cost." "But how high is it?" "Only one dollar a day apiece and up as high as you want to go."
