In this year leading up to Arizona's centennial, Feb. 14, 2012, we'll reprint a story or excerpts each day from the Arizona Daily Star or Tucson Citizen archives.
Sept. 25, 1912
On account of all available houses being taken and the hotels filling up, it is feared there will be little accommodations for winter tourists in the city. It was stated Tuesday by one of the hotelkeepers of the city that his rooms were practically all full. The lodging houses are enjoying a period of prosperity also.
The real estate men say that they have no houses left on their lists. Practically all of the desirable ones are gone, and people who come in now will have to be content with what they can get. The real estate men are looking forward to a good winter along all lines. They say that the city is filling with people for the winter months, and that there are more in Tucson now than ever before at this time of the year.
