If it is true that the way to a mans

Bert Sanders of the Bon Ton Restau-
rant has more friends than any man in
this section. Certain it is that his oy-
ster suppers and dainty cooked short
orders please everyone, for not only are
they good, but they are served in an
appetlzing manner.
The Bon Ton" which is neatly fitted
up, was established seven years ago.
but came into the present proprietor's
hands eight months ago. Since the
change of management it. has forged
rapidly ahead and now enjoys a fine
patronage. In addition to the restau-
rant business there is a fine stock Of
confectionery, cigars and tobaccos,
while in the summer a fine fountain
will dispense the most cooling drinks.
The people of Caldwell are especially
proud Of the fact that Bert" Sanders
is a Sumner county boy. He began in
this business some years ago, but was
unsuccessful. He then left Caldwell
and returned with a thorough expert
ence in his line. Few young business
men give greater promise of getting
ahead, for he is enterprising, affable
and most accommodating. When in
