A TRIO OF MODEL WASHINGTON RESTAURANTS
And the Elements Which Have Contributed To Their Success
BEFORE the first MODEL LUNCHROOM the nucleus from which grew the present
MODEL LUNCHROOM chain became a reality, its future proprietor had an idea.
He fully realized the defects that characterized most restaurants at that time and
planned to put into operation a lunchroom that would not only be a place in which to dine, but
also a place in which to dine well a model of its kind.
So the first of his ideal restaurants came into being. So successful was it that it was fol
lowed by another then a third. You probably know them and their delicious menus of care
fully selected, well cooked foods, excellent sanitary appointments, matchless service and low
prices. There were, however, other important elements the supply and produce dealers
to whom no small credit of ths MODbL LUNCHROOM success is due they're listed below:
