THE WAUPACA RECORD

                                                                     Thursday, April 21, 1904

 

                                                               The Grand View Hotel Company

 

 

     The Grand View Hotel company is a corporation which was recently organized thru the influence of Irving P. Lord, John D. Caughell and Wallace H. Lord, and has purchased the real estate and all personal property and other belongings heretofore owned by the Silver Lake Cottage company, and used in connection with the operation of the Grand View Hotel at the Chain o’ Lakes.  The deed of the property was recorded yesterday, April 20, and the new Grand View Hotel company is now the sole owner of this beautiful piece of lake property.  The Silver Lake Cottage company stock-holders all received spot cash for their stock, and those gentlemen who owned the furniture and personal property in the hotel, likewise were paid cash. It is understood that there was between $7,000 and $8,000 in currency passed hands in the deal.  The Messrs. Lord and Mr. Caughell, are all well known in this city and community, and as they are heavily interested in the Waupaca Electric Light & Railway company, it is believed that they can operate the hotel more economically and with greater success than can anybody else.  Mr. Caughell, who has so successfully managed the Grand View Hotel during the past two years, will continue to hold the position of general manager, and as he is a hustler as well as being immensely popular, he will certainly increase the patronage of this popular resort.  Besides the gentlemen above mentioned, there are other gentlemen who are understood to have stock in the new company, and who have faith that it will largely increase in value within the next few years.  We wish the new company unbounded success, and the feel that we can assure them the hearty co-operation of all public spirited Waupaca people.
