RANDOLPH- The Cedar Motel of Randolph will receive national recognition in the new 1961 edition of the Duncan Hines Travel Book “Lodging for a Night” coming out this month, according to an announcement from Roy H. Park, editor-in-chief of the Duncan Hines Institute, publisher of the travel books.
The Cedar Motel is one of 4800 lodging places in North America “Recommended by Duncan Hines.” Other Duncan Hines books are the companion travel books, “Adventures in Good Eating,” also just published in its 1961 edition; and the Duncan Hines guide to resorts and vacation spots, “Vacation Guide,” now in preparation for publication in February, 1961.
“The establishments we list are truly a select group,” Park said. “They represent the top two per cent, for we recommend only 9200 out of nearly half a million eating and lodging places in North America.”
“Lodging for a Night” represents some 1,000 changes in listings in 384 pages, the same size as in previous years, containing 4800 listings, he noted.
Park stated that the listings in these books are “authoritative and unbiased,” based on a thorough survey and analysis by the Institute headquarters staff. “No establishment is listed without first having been inspected,” he explained. “There is no charge for a listing—the Duncan Hines recommendation is based on merit. It has to be earned.”
Both books, priced at $1.50 a copy—are on sale at bookstores, department stores, newsstands, many of the places “Recommended by Duncan Hines,” and may also be ordered directly from the publisher, the Duncan Hines Institute, Ithaca, N.Y.
