THE SIMCOE HOTEL
Norfolk Street
Mrs. Ritchie,
having now neatly finished fitting up the above hotel in a new and
comfortable manner, will be happy in affording accommodations to
strangers, travellers [sic] and others, who may favor her with
a call, in a manner and upon such terms as she humbly trusts will meet
their entire approbation. As this establishment is almost entirely
new, and fitted up in good style, it is the intention of the hostess
so to conduct it, as to ensure a continuance of public patronage.
In pursuance whereof she begs to assure the Public, that although
her rooms will be provided and her table supplied with every requisite
for the comfort and convenience of her guests, and her Bar store
with the choicest liquors, wines, &c. possible to be obtained,
their comfort and repose will not be liable to any turbulent of undue
inter-uption [sic] as all habitual tipling [sic] and licentious
excesses wherever will be promptly discouraged and excluded from the
The Simcoe Hotel, and that her Stabling attendance, &c., will to
the likes accord with the above regulations. And further, that her
most grateful recollections and acknowledgements will be secured to
those have occasion to visit the town who may please to honor her with
their commands.
A limited number of Boarders may be accommodated at the The Simcoe
Hotel.
Simcoe, Nov. 4th, 1840.
