DOIHGS AMONG The DINING
GAR AND HOTEL WATERS
By HOPPE
Dear

Dear Readers:
| would like to call your attention
to a statement made by some one
last week, to the effect that the wait
ers who served a banquet at Zion Bap-
fist Church recently, was from the
Walters Association and that the7
were poorly served. We would like If
known that the Association hasn't
met since last July, and whoever made
the statement surely did not know
where the walters came from or who
they were, and should be more careful
when making such remarks. | i%nvesti-
rated and found that the said party
had about three hundred guests
and four boys from the young waters
class, who are under the most compe-
tent head waiter, Mr.. C. Branch, and
eight so-called walters who are un-
known to me. Had these people EN-
ployed twelve Of the best walters in
the city, the party would have been a
VEN poorly served affair. Even at the
hotel where they are prepared to
serve, theE only expect n waiter
to serve twelve to fifteen guests, and
if it is a real nice party, we give
enc from eight to ten guests. There
should have been from fifteen to
twenty-five walters to serve 300
guests, especially if they were not
prepared for such a party. J visited
the class Friday night, and l must
say that the young men are doing a
nice job Of it, and | am sure that f
you use these young men, and be sure
oaat they are sent to you by Captain
Branch, your party will be served just
as well as if we served it for you.
And if it is SO classy that Nh. Branch
would happen to doubt his boys, he
will send some of US out with the
boys. And if it is too classy for us
to serve, it is really too much class for
Omaha We serve the Cream Of the
city daily, but my people, some time,
may be double whip" Oh, mel
Well, here are the names Of the
four boys who happened to be the
victims of the party, Calvin Bradley,
Richard Howard, Jesse Covington and
William Davis. Last Friday night
they showed me that they can, at least
serve beef, chicken and steaks; 50 |
am sorry to say that the mistake
made at the party was too many peo-
pie. But we will gladly assist these
young men should you wish their ser
wees in the future.
Here we are: A good looking suit
or a good looking girl or man always
attracts the eye, and believe me, Mr..
D. Overton has seen many. But last
week Mr.. Overton was struck dead by
the sight of a blue suit hanging By.
So a test came up as to the value of
the suits when one Of the bus boys,
who stood Omaha on its head last
summer when he put the sky on the
ground with his electric blue, and
made a perfect background for the
moon at night when he strutted Oma-
ha streets, told the price of his suit.
But the owner of the suit quickly put
ten dollars up that this suit would
hold it's own anywhere, even though
: didn't come from Brandeis, Brown
ing-King or Nebraska Clothing. Mon
ey talks, so the bus boy shut up.
Have you ever gone to see an "All
Star" team play? Well, they lose
more than they win, don't they?
Didn't the Kansas City Monarchs
beat the All Stars last fall with the
great Deans pitching? Why? Too
many stars and no team to back
them. Am l right? Well, this also
goes for the dining rooms. No mat
ter how many star walters you have
unless they team up, assist each 9TH
er, take care Of the mes who can't
take care Of themselves, they can't
win, or serve the people. 1t is the
united strength and not stardom that
gets results. Team work will get it.
Try it and see the result.
While j am speaking Of walters and
the dining room, l must say to Mr..
Porter that he had better move or ad-
just his timer, or use a better gas, and
remove all Of his alcohol so as not to
over heat, and get a better pickup,
because Nh. Branch is surely putting
together a real fast young crew, and
the old ones who could run the track
in one flat, and who are now going on
the old "Trade Mark, must step aside
as speed is taking the day. Ask any
auto dealer or the u. P. Don't for
get, can old motor must be petted".
No matter how far they go from
home, Spain, France or Iowa, there is
no place like home. Last week Mr..
J. Fisher, after getting twelve biscuits
and a cereal dish full Of syrup, he and
Raymond Davis really went back.
Twenty-eight biscuits and half a gal
Ion Of syrup were destroyed in less
than ten minutes, and believe me, I
couldn't help joining them way down
