Hotel Edison

We always come across the coolest 19th and early 20th century stationary when we are looking through Civil War Pensions. This stationary from the Hotel Edison in NYC advertises a "radio in every room" and "1000 rooms with bath and shower"! Construction began on the Hotel Edison in 1931 and Thomas Edison himself was there to turn on the lights for its grand opening! Hotel Edison is still located at 46th and 47th Street, west of Broadway in NYC.
