the West, by the Boston Lunch
Room.
A New Boston Lunch Room will be
opened at 1406 Douglas street this
week. During the coming month an
other will be opened at 140S Farnam
street. The Lunch room at 1912 Far
nam was established some years ago,
rather as an experiment, but it has
proven quite as popular and necessary
in the west as in the east, and there
seems to be a growing demand for
this class of eating place all over the
country.
The Douglas street Lunch Room will
be the largest and best appointed in
the west. It will be about he same as
the New York places, over which the
people are raving.
1t will be provided with modern
dairy chairs scattered promiscuously
over the room. These will be of green
verd oak, matching the other in-
ish. The interior walls will be of
excel tile. an Importation from Austria,
and has been laid by an expert from
the import house. The floor is tile
also, while the ceiling is steel, carrying
out the idea of the management to
provide an absolutely sanitary room.
The refrigerators are of opal glass in
side and out. The counters are marble
top. The bake room is provided with
Hubbard ovens and the ranges and
No. 49,. 49, - A. I,AA,N lA.s-,
and material. The walls of the bake
room are covered with sanitas wall
covering. A special design in coffee
urns Is part of the arrangement. These
vessels are automatic, so that re-
pouring is eliminated, the strength
and aroma of the coffee is retained and
since the Introduction of the new
urns in the east, patrons of lunch
rooms are satisfied with nothing else.
Mr&J. w. WEIGH, who is overlooking
the work. and who is practically the
owner of the chain of Boston Lunch
roomS scattered throughout the west,
said that Omaha has taken kindly to
the Lunch room, and his has led him
to the establishing of the present room,
and the one later proposed OIL \Farnam
street!
In the East" he said, these
Lunch rooms are called the Million
aiers eating places. They flock to the
chairs, Before, the wealthy men never
frequented restaurants. They did not
wish to become the prey of walters,
whose services was regulated by the
size of the tip, nor to be subject to
those tiresome sieges of waiting in
crowded rooms, nor to be deluged with
the fumes of steaming onions or fry
ing fish. These business men, knew
that heavily laden stomachs meant
lazy, drowsy mentality, just at that
hour of the day when they were ex-
pected to be most active. And that
while big dinners were good things
and desirable, they should come of
evenings, when the brain is through
with the work Of the day.
This was the demand for the Boston
Lunch, and New York could no more
set on without it than without the
FIocklyn bridge.
The Boston Lunches have almost
COZ plctely put the medium priced
restaurants out Of business.
The class OF people which patron
ICES the best cafes fer dinners of even
ings is he anne class found at the
Boston Lunch for lunch.
Business women find the Boston
Lunch an ideal place for meals at noon
and shoppers find 1t the most convent
ent, quickest, cleanest, quietest and
cheapest place of afternoons or even
ings."
Mr.. Welch said that the intention
all along is to provide the people with
healthful, we'll cooked food, and abso-
lutely clean and sanitary eating place,
and that freedom which business men
like in Il room when they take light
refreshments; and also a quick service
which enables them to take lunch in
five or ten minutes, anG before a
waiter could serve them at a restau-
rant, leaving them open for engage
ments or recreation during the noon
hour.
The lunch room on Douglas street
! will be open during this week, an
nouncement of which will appear in
the papers
