what the full significance of these
three words is-what 1t means to a

1t means greater trade for our mer.

comes indirectly, of course, but none

who enjoy a cool glass OF lager or an
occasional sip OF generous old liquor
that warns the heart as well as the
s'omach, is the one known as the
Palm Cafe, which is conducted by Mr..
Thomas A. Glover. Mr.. Clover opened
the Palm Cafe October 20 of last year,
and Immediately attracted TO his re-
sort a class of trade that goes to make
his resort one OF the most congenial
in 81. Johns. Weinhard's beer, and
the famous o. p. s. whiskey, are the
leading brands that are served here.
though many other leading and pop
ular brands OF wines. liquor and
whiskies are kept in stock for those
who have learned TO prefer an espe-
cial article. Mr.. Glover has furnished
and fitted out his bar in most at
tractive manner and II presents a
most inviting appearance. His fix-
lures are new and up-to-date and the
decorations are splendid, and the
genial and urbane proprietor of this
cafe is a loyal ST. Johns booster.
