The local historical society says:
The historic Hotel Will Rogers was dedicated on February 7, 1930 and Louis Abraham, Walter Krumrei, and Morton Harrison financed the hotel. Their plan came together after Louis' father had come to Claremore to take mineral water baths and was cured of rheumatism. He fell in love with the place, but felt that Claremore had been held back as a health resort for the lack of suitable hotel facilities.
And perhaps the word RADIUM? No, that was a good thing back then. We'll take the Curie suite - you're sure the brochure is correct? There's extra radium there? Fine.
