HE ROYCROFT INN at East Aurora, New York, was 

 built and furnished by The Roycrofters at an expense 

 of over one hundred thousand dollars. It is probably 

 the only first-class hostelry in America that is con- 

 ducted by the people who erected the building, made 

 the furniture, and most of the decorations that fit the 

 rooms. Q The mural decorations in the "Salon" or music room took 

 Mr. Alex. Fournier, Honest Roycrofter, two years to complete. In ad- 

 dition to these the Inn contains over two hundred and fifty valuable 

 paintings and original drawings and portraits. 



Beside the single rooms there are sixteen suites, consisting of an inside 

 dressing-room or parlor, an out-of-door veranda sleeping-room and a 

 bathroom. These suites are furnished in oak, ash, cherry, curly maple 

 or mahogany, the furniture in each room having been made to match 

 the woodwork. 



The chandeliers, drop light fixtures, and electric light fixtures on the 

 wall are made of hammered copper after the designs by our Mr. Dard 

 Hunter, and completed in our own blacksmith shop. 

 All the beds are provided with box springs, our own make, and layer- 

 cotton mattresses made by our Mr. John Heller. With the exception of 

 the Xavajo rugs made by Roycroft Indians, in the reception room, the 

 rugs and carpets were made by Roycroft girls seventy-five years young. 

 Q Connected with the Roycroft Inn, and belonging to the place, are 

 Medicinal Springs which possess marked therapeutic properties. The 

 Inn also has an Art Gallery, Library, Music Room, Ballroom, Lecture 

 Hall, Steam Heat, Electric Light, Hot and Cold Water, private sewer 

 plant septic system one mile from Inn. 



Good people with gourmet proclivities, who demand French delicacies, 

 and revel in the gastronomically complex and peculiar, will please go 

 elsewhere. We cook for ourselves but are glad to put on a plate for 

 you if you wish it. Q We have our own herd of Jersey and Holstein 

 cows, so our tables are supplied with fresh milk and cream in abundance. 

 The Roycroft garden of thirty acres furnishes our vegetables, and poul- 

 try and eggs we produce galore. (J The table is not strictly vegetarian, 

 but the intent is to supply milk, cream, eggs, cereals, fruit all pre- 

 pared in so palatable a way that the system demands less meat and is 

 fully nourished and built up, the appetite being satisfied by products 

 that are produced right at hand and are free from every possible dele- 

 terious effect. Q Sickness at Roycroft is unknown, and many who have 

 come to us thinking they were ill have speedily forgotten it. Roycroft 

 is not a sanitarium in the common acceptance of the word our doctors 

 are Moderation, Sunshine, Equanimity, Good Cheer, Fresh Air, Work!
