"THE VIRGINIA" 
 
 s 
 
 HIS hotel was erected by Mr. 
 Leander J. McCormick, so well 
 known from his long connection 
 with the "McCormick" Reaper, and 
 
 every detail of construction and furnishing has been carried out 
 with the intention to produce an absolutely fire-proof building, 
 and a finished hotel second to no other. How near this result 
 has been reached, the following pages of illustrations will 
 partially show. 
 
 The hotel is conducted on the "American" plan, its 
 cuisine and service being unexcelled. It is located in the most 
 fashionable residence section, and yet in such close proximity
 
 to the business district that guests can reach the City Hall, 
 Board of Trade, Theatres, etc., in a few moments' time. 
 To those seeking quiet and luxurious 
 surroundings, "The Virginia" offers advantages 
 possessed by no other hotel in the city. 
 
 Room Diagrams and rates mailed on 
 application. Special rates to families or to those 
 making an extended stay.
