It has always been and will continue to be the policy of the Sweeney- Huston Company to prohibit the sale or the serving of liquor in any building they operate. To create and to maintain still further an atmosphere of good fellowship that is entirely wholesome, all gam- bling of whatever kind will be rigidly excluded, and the general con- duct of the establishment will be in conformity with the requirements of ladies and gentlemen. Another outstanding feature of the Recreation Building will be the unusual service to be found on every floor. More than 200 trained and courteous attendants will be on duty. Ten skilled mechanics will see that the equipment is always up to the standard.
