The attached postcard image is currently for sale on eBay, and the seller has identified it as being at Goddard, Kan., presumably because the small sign near the door says Goddard Hotel. But Goddard, Kansas, it just west of Wichita and is certainly not
on the Q. Because the large sign says CB&Q Hotel, I would think it would be located somewhere on the CB&Q proper, that is, on what in the 20th Century became Lines East. If it were west of the Missouri River it would have been called either the Burlington
Hotel or more likely the B&M Hotel. The seller probably settled on Kansas since that was the only town named Goddard he could find, and indeed Goddard, Kan., appears to be the only community of that name in the U.S. Unfortunately, the postcard is not canceled,
so we don't know where or when it was mailed. So my guess would be that Goddard is the name of the hotel's owner or operator and that it was more commonly known as the CB&Q Hotel because it was somewhere along the Q. I'm hoping somebody in the group may
know something about it, if only where it was located.
