Excerpt from The Bells Ringing the Message of Progress in Monroe County, Pa. And Tributary Country, 1915: Where Industry and Recreation Meet

After a good repast we await some friends of Tom Milton's, who have telephoned from the Indian Queen Hotel, Stroudsburg, that they will join our party. There are seven of them and a brief introduction all around proves them jolly, wholesome companions. They want us to go back with them first to meet the folks, but we insist on the original plan of giving Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg the once-over at greater leisure. We do, however, find pleasure in meeting at the Fenner the genial J. A. Seguine, who immediately proceeds to sing the praises of Cresco, Canadensis, Mountainhome, and other spots on the road to the higher up Pocono section. J. A. Hoopes reminds as between whiles that the real thing would be found by us in the Poconos. To remain friends, we promise both to make separate trips to their parts of Monroe. For we came to see it all. And now we say, Auf Wieder sehen to W. H. Gibbs, the Fenner host.

It is just one-thirty. The vitality has been given new impetus by a daintily served meal, and the bracing air gives us all a new grip on life. The motor cars are ready. On one the genial Harry P. Custard is himself the man on the box. The signal is given by Miss Helen Hunt, who was last to en ter, and we are off. Rapidly we pass up North Courtland Street. We stop to chat with Mr. Charles Decker, who emerged from the Prospect House, just around the corner from the church, to give us a friendly greeting. At The Maplehurst,' under the leadership of happy Martin L. Bach and Mrs. Bach, the owners. We exchanged greetings with some of our friends and are off once more.
