Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-05-24

John Boies Plotke, 1922 north SD
street, Philadelphia, spent Sunday and
Monday of this week in Wildwood and
will return tomorrow the 25th, to open
for the season his boardwalk restaurant
neal Glenwood avenue. Mr.. Plotke
has catered to Wildwood appetites for
summers ten, and without him the
list of boardwalk caterers would be in
complete. Covering a period of ten
days or more, at his north SD street
restaurant, he fed about 1900 laborers
in the employ of the government while
working IN the railroad tracks to place
the traffic service in perfect condition
in the northwestern section of the city.
Mr.. Plotke was associated for several
years with the Atlantic Film Footlight
company, importers of motion picture
films, with offices at 1881 Vine street,
Philadelphia. On account of the war,
this enterprise was put out of business.
Mr.. Plotke Gays we may take 1t from
him that Wild wood will have the big
gest season ever known-that every
thing will be rented up between June
18th and September I'd, Labor day.
That sounds good, and Mr.. Plotke be-
ing a close observer of business matters,
and in a position TO feel the pulse of
the public, would hardly stake his rep
utation as q prognosticator in such a
positive way, unless he knew what he
was talking about. So get ready,
every body, for the big demands for
rooms, cottages, apartments and bung-
allows.
