Proud of Kitchen
I'VE are proud of our new kitch-
en-" said Mr.. Lilleberg. Many
of our friends have already COM
mented on its compact efficiency,
as well as its cleanliness. Cleanli-
ness, you know, is one of the most
important reasons why we selected
electrical appliances. You can't
beat electricity on that score, and
it's the equal of anything else in
every other test. We installed
electric appliances, too, because
they are cool, and easier on the
help. We will be glad to show
it in operation to other Tacoma
restaurant operators, or to anyone
interested in this modern way of
