D. M. DELANEY - Vol. II, pg 497
For seventeen years D. M. Delaney, manager of the Dyckman Hotel in Minne­apolis,
has been engaged in the hotel business, and in this connection has achieved
substantial success. A native of Missouri, he was born in St. Joseph, in which
com­munity he received his early schooling. At an early age he put his textbooks
aside and entered the hotel business, becoming an employe of Mr. Neipp at the
Hotel Robidoux. For four years he remained in the employ of that hotel,
advancing from one position to another and taking every opportunity offered him
to learn the business, and at the termination of that time he removed to
Burlington, Iowa, becoming con­nected with the Burlington Hotel for a time. Some
two years later he located in Chi­cago, accepting a position with the Grand
Pacific Hotel, and after six years with that house was for two years steward at
the Illinois Athletic Club, and then became asso­ciated with the Congress Hotel.
At the end of two years Mr. Neipp purchased the Dyck­man Hotel in Minneapolis,
becoming owner on the 15th of April, 1920, and he offered Mr. Delaney the
management of this enterprise. Mr. Delaney was quick to recognize his
opportunity, accepted it, and has since been active in this capacity. He has
proved the right man for the place and under his management the hotel is
enjoying a high class and extensive patronage. The Dyckman Hotel contains three
hundred well appointed rooms and has a staff of some one hundred and fifty-five
employes. A man of genial and pleasing personality, Mr. Delaney has made many
friends for the hotel and his patrons are always sure of every comfort possible.
He has made this his life work and his success is the result of familiarizing
himself with the business in every detail and employing the most advanced and
progressive methods in its conduct.
Politically Mr. Delaney gives his allegiance to the republican party and the
prin­ciples for which it stands. He is interested in progressive citizenship and
his coopera­tion can always be counted upon to further measures for the general
good. Fraternally he is identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks,
holding membership in Lodge No. 4, of Chicago, and he has attained the third
degree in the Knights of Columbus, and he is a consistent communicant of the
Catholic church. Along strictly business lines he is identified with the
Northwestern Hotel Men's Association, and as a public-spirited citizen he is
active in the Civic & Commerce Association. For recreation from his business
interests Mr. Delaney turns to the great outdoors and is fond of all sports
