HEW YORK DAY BY DAY
(By J. M. Allison, Special Corre
spondent of The Times.)
NEW YORK, Nov.26.—It isn’t a
matter for wonderment that men who
engage in business which is depend
ent upon the patronage of the New
York public sometimes finish by en
dowing a hospital and sometimes by
jumping out of a high window.
Take, for instance, the case of
George Rector. It’s one of the kind
that is most pleasant to record, for!
George is now looking 'round figura
tively for the hospital to be endowed.
Two years ago he seemed to be head
ed for the other finish.
The first Rector establishment,
which is now the Claridge hotel, prac
tically broke George’s whole family, j
All of the Rector funds went into it, i
at the start, and then New York didn't
take to it. It was too Chicagoesque.
It had to be practically remodelled in
j its principal features and reorganized
j in its operation before it became what j
it is now—the one hotel and restau
rant which gets practically Ijhe whole
patronage of the stage peopje who
can afford to pay very high prices.
While George Rector, with little but:
the family name as a personal asset,
was looking about to see what he I
should do, he had a proposition from
Paul Salvin, then proprietor of the
Garden restaurant. Paul Salvin is an
individual who proves how a man may i
develop with his environments. In his
early career as a restaurant proprie
tor he conducted a place on the East
side. They say that at this period cf .
his history he acquired skill in catch
ing stray bullets in his teeth and al
ways kept a choice seat in his main 1
dining room for the coroner. When
he opened the Garden restaurant, up
town, that resort was principally a
competitor of the Eldorado dance hall,
a couple of blocks above on Seventh
avenue, where on a busy week they
used to average about one shooting a
night. The police closed the Eldorado
but Paul Salvin kept the Garden open
and made it something that belonged
in the neighborhood. It wasn’t a young
ladies’ seminary, to be sure, but it was
a place where patrons were fed and
protected and amused, and it got a big
following from among the people of
the cheaper class. Then Paul Salvin
wanted to give himself a chance to de
velop further. The “Follies Bergere”
restaurant, at the head of Longacre
Square, had closed, with a loss of ovc
| $250,000 on its first year of operation.
Paul Salvin leased it, tying up :i very
large part of his working capital to
do so, and then he called it “Rector’s,”
by virtue of a deal he made with
1 George Rector. The agreement with
George was simply to pay him a small
salary for the use of his name until
such a time as his whole investment
in the place had come back to him.
Salvin studied his game and nursed
his patrons and made “Rector’s” what,
it is—the most popular supper and
dancing place in New York with a
patronage which includes many of the
“best” people of the city/ Then along
came the European war, with its sud
den rush of money into the pockets of
thousands of willing spenders. Rec
tor’s became instead of merely a prof -
itable restaurant a veritable gold m:ne.
Conservative people who know what
such places make, say the profits will
not be less than a quarter of a mil
lion dollars this year. And all of this
prefaces the announcement that Paul
ONE WAY TO BEAT THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—“Raise chick
ens in your back yard if you would cut
the high cost of living," said Theodore
Hewes, secretary of the Poultry show
which opened here today.
“The increase in the price of dress
ed poultry has not yet equalled that
of pork or beef and it is a commodity
that can be produced from the wastes
from your table, not only produce de
licious meat, but supply fresh eggs, a
luxury which few can afford when
they must buy them.”

Salvin has got his investment back
and that George Rector, under his
contract with Salvin, now comes into
a third interest in the business. From
about fifty dollars a week, his income
has jumped to about a hundred thous
and dollars a year.
Two novel souvenirs brought high
prices at a bazaar held this week at
the Biltmore. They were a pair of
Gen. Joffre’s gloves, made into vanity
bags for women.
The final blow seems to have fallen
on Fifth avenue, so far as its repu
tation as a residence street of the
elect is concerned. William K. Van
derbilt, who spent millions in trying
to prevent trade from invading the
little colony of millionaires, opposite
to St. Patrick’s cathedral, has thrown
up the sponge and rented his residence
at 647 Fifth avenue, to an art dealer.
The house is listed for taxation at
$455,000. It is also announced that
Morton F. Plant has rented his adjom
ing dwelling to Cartier, the jeweler.
