may seem, the coolest place in the city

lost more money than any other gem
eral business.
The managers estimate that more
than S1,250,0OO, which ordinarily
would have been taken in at Broadway
restaurants during the five or six days,
was diverted into other channels.
In one hotel, which can accommo-
date 500 to 1000 persons. there were
fifteen guests at dinner last Tuesday
evening. yet the management had to
pay hundreds Of walters and other
employees. The next evening nine
tables were occupied.
The automobile has played a stron-
ger part this year than ever before in
the depletion OF the summer restaur
ants revenue. Through the reduc-
tion in the price and rental rates Of
good cars, hundreds of persons have
been able to spend the holidays, Sun
days and week ends on tours to sea-
