They sold the Henry Hotel to Mr. and Mrs. Glen Cates and purchased the Silver Cliff from A.E. Johnston. The Silver Cliff was built in 1918, during Lusk's first oil boom days, and its first lessee and manager was E.O. Stratton. Now owner of Hotel Pendleton at Pendleton, Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Brown leased the Silver Cliff for a time and bought the Royal Hotel in Cheyenne, which they operated for several years. The plans for Mr. and Mrs. Brown are still indefinite, but for the present they will take and apartment in the hotel, and Lusk. Friends hope they will decide to stay here.
