who have built up the business OF sup
plying people with meals at their resi-
dences. Nowhere else in the world
probably is there such a large catering
business done as here. for our citizens
are in the habit of relieving their minds
as far as possible from all cares, do

may devote their time and talents to So
Getty and social pleasures 1t was
about ten years ago that this business
began to flourish in the west end and
1t was by reason of the enterprise and
energy of q freedman. whose skin is
blacler than charcoal He was acting
as butler for prominent society family
and daily heard the complaints
Of his mistress concerning the
annoyances of marketing and looking
after that branch of her household dl-
lies. Although he knew nothing of the
experience of people in other cities
throughout the world, it dawned upon
him as an original thought that he
might relieve his mistress OF all this
trouble, and he asked her permission to
DO the marketing for her. She at first
consented that he should assist her and
accompany her to market, which he did
and Immediately took the initiative, fore
stalling her in every selection Of food
for the table, until she recognized his
nbility to do marketing better and more
economically than herself. She turned
over the entire culinary department. of
her large and well kept establishment
TO the colored man. 1t then occurred
to him that several neighbors and soci.
ETY. friends were in a similar predica-
ment. who might be pleased to have
similar relief, and he rendered his serv-
ices to them; so that within six months
time he found himself acting as a mar
ket-man for no less than score of diff
ferent families. Thereupon he evolved
the idea of not only purchasing the
food but preparing it for the tables of
his patrons; and as soon as this subject
wasbroached it almost Immediately met
with a favorable reception. He there
upon rented a house in fashionable
northwest neighborhood, hired excel
lent cooks and walters, bought wagons
and proceeded to prepare breakfasts,
lunches, dinners, suppers and midnight
repasts for all his patrons.
This business needed no advertising
in the newspapers. The ladies told
their friends of their good fortune, and
extolled the service which was rem
dered them, as well they night, be-
cause it was in every sense superior to
the service which they had had in their
own homes and under their own diree-
tions. The result was that the founder
of this enterprise in the northwest
end soon discovered that competitors
were in the field. The business has
grown SO rapidly since that time, and
the services performed are 50 superior
for the price paid, that there is at
present no reason why any home in any
part of the city should not have this
method of living. There is one caterer
here who offers two meals day for
one person for six dollars week; or
for four dollars week he will serve
one person with dinners only. The
