Exciting new decorating techniques have trans-
formed the Dufferin Hotel at Centralia from a solid old
brick building into as modern an establishment as can
be found in urban centres.
The exterior of the building may be of the tradi-
tional brick which has served this area for over a cen,
tury, but the inside sparkles with a modernness that
in many ways is new to the district.
Visitors to the grand opening Friday evening will
find the transformation striking. From the main entrance
to the many exits, the change is a complete one.
Each of the three serving
rooms downstairs has its own colored leaves are mounted.
