BROWN TELLS
WHY he SOLD
THE BEE CAFE

patrons from all over the valley and
deluged by letters from San Diego and
Los Angeles as to my reason for sell
ing my former place of business, and
/ criticized by many for so doing, l have
decided to make a brief statement
setting forth my reason in vindication
of my action, so that all may know
and hold their peace.
My lease upon the property was to
= expire October 1st of this year, and
this fact became known to several who
, envied my prosperity and naturally
coveted my business.
Plans were soon laid to purchase an
option on the new lease, and as far
back as July, 1920, the option was
successfully effected.
Soon after this coup, l was ap-

clandestlne in operations-as to my
price for the place, as it stood.
Realizing that to move the fixtures
meant to absolutely wreck the place
as everything was built in, and con-
sidering the irreparability Of the loss,
and my long felt desire to emerge from
the restaurant business and direct my
activities toward the conduct of a
Cafeteria, l readily perceived my op-
portunity and sold my place at my
own price. much to my satisfaction
and delight. ~ as4Ag
As modern eating place, the Cafe

as the ideal idea.
In all the larger centers they have

adapting themselves to this modern
mode of living, and the day is not far
distant when the restaurant of today
will be relegated to the scrap heap, to
be regarded only as derelicts.
Shrewd and prudent housewives are
fast becoming converts to this eco
nomical and sanitary method, where
they are permitted to view the variety
and choose to their own liking, that
which appeals to them after careful
inspection.
They are keen to perceive the econ

system; as the food is passed to them
direct from the steam table, the iden

sending an order back to the kitchen
and waiting indefinitely for it's arrival.
The quick-lunch, busy-man is quick
to appreciate the advantages of cafe

in and pick out what he wants and go
to eating, without perusing a long bill
Of fare and then send his order in and
wait till it is brought back to him.
All chances for come back are
precluded in this modern and sanitary
system, as everything is served direct
to YOU, as it comes from the range, as
the viands are carved before you, and
sauces and gravies served from orig
inal containers.

than to wait to be served, and you can.
