IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago... The Del Campo hotel built during the boom of 1884 at a cost of $40,000 was sold this week to Godfrey Stock of this city and B.S. Hoover a recent arrival from Colorado Springs, the stated consideration being $8000. It is the intention of the purchasers to raze the building and with the material to erect fifteen modern cottages upon the thirteen-acre tract occupied by the hotel, an option upon which was taken by the new owners. The Del Campo was erected during the years of 1887-88 when the boom was upon the point of subsiding. It is a pretentious frame structure two stories and a half in height, and covers two acres of ground. The period of wild-cat speculation had swept over the land but had left this section singularly free. However, the fever struck a number of local men of means and the building was erected at a cost of $40,000. A grand opening of the hotel was had upon its completion and a great throng was present as guests of the hotel company. The house was handsomely appointed but it never paid as a hotel. The enterprise was a flat failure from the start. After being run as a hotel for a year or more at a loss, it was opened as a cheap lodging house.

However, should you ever have any financial worries concerning needed medical care, we urge you to discuss the matter in advance with your personal physician. He will be glad to assist you in making arrangements for the best of medical care on the most reasonable financial basis possible. THE BEST MEDICAL SERVICE is based on a friendly, mutual understanding between doctor and patient. We urge you to discuss fees in advance with your personal physician. OCCASIONALLY, however, our Public Service Committee is called upon to review a misunderstanding which may have developed between doctor and patient. Judging from experience, we believe that most of these misunderstandings would not develop if the patient would discuss financial matters with his doctor just as frankly as he does his physical ailments. SHOULD YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, make a serious and sincere effort to resolve it with your personal physician. Then, if you are unable to agree, write to the Society. We are determined that, in your interest, high standards of ethical medical care be maintained.
