“Of these there are a number in Ithaca, such as the Clinton House, the Ithaca Hotel and the Tompkins House, etc., and without intending to disparage any of the others, there is a sufficient reason for taking particular notice of the Clinton House. Enterprise of itself is laudable, and especially when it aims at public accommodations, as well as the advancement of private interest. The proprietors of this house are Jeremiah S. Beebe, Henry Ackley and Henry Hibbard.
