This is an advertisement in "Everybody's Magazine" of the Tampa Bay Hotel. Unlike the postcard above that said it cost five million dollars, this says it cost over $3,000,000.00 to build. To see the Studebaker Sleigh advertisement that is at the top of the page, click here. To see the back of the page, with advertisements for The Whitely Exerciser, Cadillac Automobile, and Nordyke Marmon Company [Automobile], click here.

This breakfast menu from February 1, 1922 lists W. F. Adams as the manager. There are no prices except for the Poland Water at the bottom. That is shown as 70 cents for half a gallon. There are lots of old favorites, such as: shredded wheat; grapenuts; griddle cakes and bacon. Lots of odd choices.
