HARLEM GRAY SHOP On
FOODS
NEW YORK, Feb. 16, (C) Once
again Negro business in Harlem
is given a big lift in prestige by
tho celebration of the eighth ami
versafy of Gray Shop No. 3, 266
West 145th street, noted as one
OF the smartest ding rooms IN up
town Manhattan. As though
GROWING its eight years of success
ful catering to the discriminating
taste of New York food lovers, the
New York Times Magazine section
of its Sunday edition carried re-
Gently a scholarly article on the
fine art of cooking as is %practiced
among Negroes, and all the in
formation, including a photo of a
chez illustrating the proper way to
prepare genuine Southern fried
chicken, came from Gray Shop No.
).
While people throughout the
country We're reading this article
on how the tradition of fine food
and service is being preserved in
Harlem by Negroes themselves, the
Gray Shop staff was feeling that
this service which was praised SO
highly was only routine work for
them. 11tsAas
It was back ink1929 that the first
Gray Shop was opened in Harlem,
Shortly after this beginning. a Sec
ond shop was opened, and in 1881
the Gray Shop fever having taken
q firm hold on Harlem, the largest
shop of all, No. 81 in West o145th
street, was opened, with . spacious
dining room which seats so people,
the shop all told seating 100 per-
sons. VIM HHsH aa5 mon feseeH
h Immediately upon the opening of
this large salon, high standards of
service were invoked and have e
manned until this day, standing the
test and strain of the depression
through eight years.
One innovation has been the
building in of a brick barbecue pit
where real southern barbecue is
prepared right before the eyes of
tho patrons. And also the south
4 fried chicken, which took the
fancy of the New York Times cul-
mary expert, has long been regular
fare for the Harlemites of above
average taste.
But in the Gray Shop service al
SO lies one of its secrets of sue
cess A we'll trained staff of wal
ters. who have had experience on
dining cars and boats, give to Har-
lemites the same / service which
commands fancy prices outside the
Harlem district. In the dining
room, which has walls of grained
wood, giving an air of dignity and
distinction, are seen tables fault
iessly set with linens of cleaning
white cleanliness and china of
matched design throughout the in
~tricacies of formal dinners, spark
ling stem glassware, and silver
that has each implement in its pro-
per place rom fish fork to demi-
tasSe spoon. aiea as
Nowhere else in Harlem does the
lover of good food and service find
such close attention given to de-
tail and correct procedure as at
Gray Shop No. 3. Comments have
often come from visiting patrons
of other cities who know and APP
preciate service, long before the
New York Times>heard of the Gray
Shop tradition and sent its special
writer to investigate and write a
lengthy report which was broad
cast to the world.
The heads of the Gray Shop are
substantial business men who not
only successfully operate their own
business, but take an interest in

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, Oct.
Ala feminist tempest over Com
munism greeted a group of promi-
nent South American women max
ing good will trip through the
United States upon their arrival
yesterday.
The argument was touched off
by Mrs. Charlotte L. Wilson, So
cially prominent Santa Fe club
leader and wife of a Santa Fe
attorney, in a letter published by a
Santa Fe newspaper.
Mrs. Wilson branded the good will
tour sponsor, the Peoples Mandate
to End War, Communist organi-
cation and a section of the Wom-
ems International League for Peace
and Freedom, which, she charged,
was organized by Communists and
Socialists for "the suppression of
capitalism by a new social
international order"
Ridiculous" answered Miss Mabel
Vernon, director of the Peoples
Mandate, who is accompanying the
group.
MY answer to such charges is
that every plan for the tour was
discussed with and approved by

founded"
