THE LONDON RESTAURANT COMPANY
(Limited).
Capital 850,000, in 10,000 Shares of f.. 5 each.
This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing
large Dining Halls and Luncheon Rooms, in will tie
ed Dinners and Refreshments of a first-classwhich character,
at charges adapted to the means of the various sections of the
commercial public. That which Mr. Lang has effected in
Glasgow and ni. Duval in l'aris, with such marked success,
the Directors seek to accomplish in London, feeling per
suaded, as the " Times" remarks, that, " No speculation can
be safer than that based on supplying the want of a good meal
at the lowest price."
Although the London Restaurant Company will offer ac-
commodation of a kind that has not hithertte,
yet from the markets in which it proposes to buy, and the
various sources of revenue that will be opened up, tt is felt
that this undertakln presents elements of success far greater
than any of the joint-stock hotel companies, although some
of these have realised very lame dividends.
l'rospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be
obtained from W. E. Duncan solicitor, SO, Basinghall-
street ;at dof the Secretary,, at the Offices ot the Company,
