THIS Establishment having been purchased by a New Company, and
undergone repairs, the interior of the same is so far
completed that the subscriber is ready for the reception of
GENTEEL PARTIES. The repairs and improvements already made;
the furnace which heats the entire Dancing portion of the
building,--entries, Supper Hall, etc.; the improved
Chandelier, new Sofas, Ladies' drawing-room new carpeted and
furnished in a comfortable manner; a reduction of former price
of Hall; strict adherence to a uniform price of Help, and
every care taken to select and furnish the most careful and
obliging attendants, with the enchanting music of the SALEM
QUADRILLE BAND, cannot fail to secure the patronage of a
generous public. Did I say above, "enchanting music"? Yes.
Without the fear of contradiction, during thirty years and
upwards that it has been my privilege to conduct the affairs
of Hamilton Hall, I have never heard from five instruments
richer music sent forth than I did on the evening of the 27th
November, ultimo.--There is one fact that should be known, and
which is acknowledged by all who have performed there, that
five pieces of music are better in Hamilton Hall than seven in
any other Hall in the city.
As respects the subscriber, who is still to conduct the
affairs of the establishment, suffice it to say that those
who have had the pleasure, for a long series of years, to
participate in such matters, are the best judges of the style,
comfort, etc.
REMOND.
N.B. With the extensive cooking apparatus and other advantages
of the premises, Families who do not wish to disarrange their
houses, or single gentlemen who are not at House-keeping,
wishing to entertain their friends, can be accommodated at
reasonable prices, and everything conducted in true family
style. J.R.
Salem, Dec. 16 [1844].
