charmingly located about halfway between the
villages of Searsport and Stockton Springs
opened for the summer July 4th. The
Tea House has been completely renovated and
made attractive both inside and out and is now
prepared to serve, at moments notice. the
usual good things for which the place is al
ready famous. This Tea House offers a SER
vice and cuisine in generous keeping with
the demands of the times and is conducted in a
manner that appeals to the tastes of ALL with
the true "home" element in surroundings and
offerings. The gift counter, which has been so
literally patronized, will be continued; also

road in that locality last season it was found
necessary to close the tea room for part of
the season, the opening this year Will, no
doubt, be doubly appreciated by its patrons as
the halt for luncheon dinner at this little
waysde resort is very refreshing.
