DO NOT DISTURB

Shhh!… Private Pringle’s asleep!

Copyright 1943, Fred Harvey, Chicago

A president has slept here… and sen-ators and governors and princes. But tonight this room in a Fred Harvey hotel belongs to Private Pringle of the U. S. armed forces the most impor-tant guest we’ve ever had.

These days Private Pringle has first choice at any of the Fred Harvey hotels throughout the wide Southwest. Some-times every room is taken by service men or women, leaving no accommo-dations for civilians.

In our restaurants and dining cars, too, the war has made a great difference.

In addition to our tremendously in-creased civilian patronage, we are serv-ing tens of thousands of Fred Harvey meals every day to Americans in uni-form. With food rationing so severe, trained personnel so scarce, it is often impossible to give you the kind of serv-ice you’ve come to expect.

Our 6000 employes some of whom have worked with the Harvey family through three generations are grate-ful for your good-humored understand-ing of this temporary situation. We thank you and promise you the old-time Fred Harvey hospitality will be back again just as soon as the war is won.

Outstanding among Fred Harvey hotels in the Southwest are LA FONDA in Old Santa Fe, N. M., EL TOVAR and BRIGHT ANGEL LODGE in Grand Canyon National Park.

Our government asks all civilians to help win the war by:

Investing as much money as we can in War Bonds Paying willingly all taxes our country needs Refusing to patronize the black markets.
