I'll be on the lookout for other hotels with these proprieters listed.

Very cool Vince! History like this is fun. I like looking up old hotels to see if they still exist, either as a hotel or a building. Some of the ancient architecture has been saved and are now apartments. And when I Google some addresses there is a modern building or parking lot. Bummer!
When I started selling covers on eBay one of my assumptions was that small town covers would sell, but everyone already had a Philadelphia or New York City cover. I soon found the big city covers sold better! People are collecting things like hotels and other corner cards. I have a customer who collects insurance companies. Some people collect city branches.
I learned not to prejudge any cover. Every time I ask myself “Why am I listing this one?” It sells quickly.

I recently acquired this group of covers. Six different Hotel Covers from Girard House Hotel. There are several different proprieters listed on the corner card. I have a friend who collects early Philadelphia advertising covers and he gave a talk on hotel covers. Some of the propieters were in demand so other hotels would compete to hire them becauce of their reputation.
