The Delegates of the P.N.A. and Polish newspaper representative arrived on Tuesday to make an inspection of the Hotel Vanadium. The palatial hotel is a seven story structure with 400 rooms which are completely furnished. The building is surrounded with trees. Mineral and spring water, as well as a small lake form a part of the 200 acre property, which is located in the highest section of Cambridge - Springs.

The building, erected at a cost of $700,000, had been used as a hotel and health resort for millionaires, but because of heavy losses was advertised for sale; and we were the lucky buyers.

A contract for $175,000 was signed, and the Polish National Alliance will take immediate possession.
