Man and Monkey Chase Grease
From Restaurant FIues
Firm Of Eli & Eli Travels $4,000
Miles Yearly in Odd Business

The senior member of Eli & Eli
spent most of last night in the flues
OF a downtown hotel and restau-
rant. The junior member of the
company, incidentally referred to by
the boss as "she," was sent on to
Baltimore yesterday afternoon where
the next job is.
Bob Eli, who runs the business,
uses as his tools in trade a small
stepladder, a gunny sack. a bucket
and a putty knife. The business is
based on cleaning grease and dirt
out OF f1ues and air vents.
Though only 80 years old, he
claims to have been in the business
since coming to this country from
his native Budapest % years ago.
Since he has grown to full man.
hood he now uses an assistant-Eli
the monkey-to get into the smaller
spaces.
Works Under Contract.
Working under contract, he guar
antees to get from $50 to 300 pounds
Of grease from the walls OF a fiue
on his first cleaning. He makes his
rounds once year and travels be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 miles
through the country.
He has lat places on his regular
schedule from coast to coast. One
lunchroom contract includes rs
places.
The technique seems simple to
spectators. Barefooted. stripped to
the waist and tools in hand, he hops
to the top Of a range or stove pokes
