several of the larger super
markets around town.
Developed by Swift & Co.,
and carrying the brand name
OF FeinSchmecker which
means fine taste), we pre-
viewed this luxury line early
in the summer when plans
were still in the formative
stage.
Before the meats could be
merchandised, it was neces-
sary to build special refrig-
Grated display cases. Then
came the problem of finding
outlets where space was
available. The complete line
consists of some 300 items
which includes about 100
cheese varieties.
The packing company
started research on these old
world type Sausages more
than two years ago. A COM
pany representative was sent
abroad to work with Euro
pean WurStmakerS to learn
their secrets of seasoning and
smoking. Prior to introduc-
ing the Feinschmecker brand.

Dinner Service
Two young women, one a
self-styled Army brat. the
other a daughter of a diplo-
mat, have pooled their re-
sources and launched a new
food business in our town.
The siSters-in-law, Mrs.
Lola de Cervera and Mrs.
Elicia de Cervera, both recent
escapes from Fidel Castro's
Cuba, are owner-operators of
Dinner Supreme, Inc, a resi-
dental dinner delivery serv-
ice, located on Kennedy
street NV.
This is how their service
operates: Menus for six days
are sent out to prospective
customers a week in advance.
There's the chefs special
each day or you may choose
from six other entrees with
a choice of soup and a vege-
table, or two vegetables. Rolls
come with each dinner and
dessert consists of cake,
brownies, or cookies. TIL e
customer makes his selection
for either the three, four,
five or six day plan and sets
the time for delivery which
can be anywhere between
500 and 7::30 pm. There is
a deposit required on the in
sulated containers, which is
returned when the service is
discontinued, as well as a
fee for delivery. The service
is available on a one-person
basis up to six. The more
dinners you order, the less
expensive they get.
TITS a real good plan for
bachelors, working husbands
and wives, single people,
maid-less mothers just home
from the hospital with a new
baby, or for students who
room together" points out
Lola. Then she revealed a
trade secret. Really, three
dinners are enough to serve
four people"
Our families have been
operating a similar business
in Miami for over three years
but we wanted to come to
Washington and thought this
would be an ideal spot for
our service" she continued.
Lola, blond and vivacious,
is the mother of three small
children, ranging from 9
months to 4 years. She's an
American, born in Hawaii,
and met her husband in Cuba
while on vacation. He was
formerly in the sugar bust
ness, she went on.
II once went to school in
Washington at Holly Cross
one of about Is schools
you can imagine being
an Army brat" she laughed.
Peruvian born Elicia is the
daughter of a diplomat. Her
ia t h er was Ambassador to
the U. N. in 1949, then
Ambassador to Cuba where
she, too, met her husband
who was also in the sugar
business. They have two lit
tie girls, ages 8 and 6.
I'm still having trouble
with my English" says Eli
cha with a shy smile. She
managed to get to the United
States in June. Lola, she
claims, is just a natural-born
cook and perfect in her role
of managing the new din
ner delivery service.
