"Manager R. C. Carruthers of the Cliff house went in for dog shows
recently."
San Francisco Call - 6 May 1913

"Well, all of a sudden, somebody invited him to try his hand at conducting the Cliff House in San Francisco, a hotel that had used as much red ink on its books as it used tomato catsup on its tables. The owners of this place, if asked to define profit, would have spelled it prophet and said that it meant a guy who tried to guess in advance what the Minnesota football team would do. Just as soon as Roy took the helm, the Cliff house ceased to be such an object of derision that the seals came up and barked at it. Soon it was paying." "After the earthquake—we mean the fire—Mr. Carruthers became boss of the Palace Hotel" |
