The Arlington Hotel, Mr Samuel Anger
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, Issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]
The thriving town of Welland, the shire town of the county, and the centre of a picturesque region, which is the delight of the tourist, can boast of at least one hotel, “The Arlington,” which is up-to-date in every respect, and which has long been the home of the commercial men and travelling public who frequent the town. The house is centrally located on East Main Street, opposite the Court House, and easily accessible to the post office and business houses, and is conducted by Mr. Samuel Anger. Mr Anger is not only a popular host, but is ever on the alert in seeking the comfort of his guests. The house, aside from a commodious office, plate glass front, and one of the best bars in Ontario, entirely by itself, contains twenty-one comfortably and even elaborately furnished guest chambers, with a handsomely furnished ladies parlor and reception room with separate ladies’ entrance from the street. Ample accommodations are afforded commercial men by two large sample rooms upon the main floor, with additional room above. The house is lighted by electricity, and heated by hot air pipes, and is equipped with all modern improvements, including hot and cold baths, and improved toilet facilities for both ladies and men. The cuisine is unsurpassed, the dining room being light and cheerful and the house has bus connections to and from all trains day and night. It may be said, to use a vernacular phrase, that there is nothing the matter with the Arlington of Welland or its genial landlord, Mr Sam Anger.
