freedom and refinement. The money
has been we'll placed. The quality is
there. All that is needed is the con-
tinued and growing support Of the
people for whom it was intended. So
long as the management continues in
the same high class service, the sue
cess of the enterprise win depend up
on the loyalty with which support is
given. There is nothing lacking. An
elegant fountain, chairs, tables, fans,
music and utensils being of tasty
selection. We hope that the response
bility of success will rest with those
who seek liquid and solid refresh
ments. ra s. . IL
To let an enterprise Of this char
acter fail will be less q reflection up
on those whose money and time have
been invested than upon the civic
pride. It is an inspiration to young
er people and faith binder for those
who think we ought to u things; To
help this yodng man il TO help the
tone of all business here. Our feeling
must be "All for each, each for ALL"

il appear that he had only the inter-
ests of the railroad companies at
