For many years a restaurant has been located here and the stand 'by any sjmllar. Institution in this part of the country. -vThe business was originally startled by Robert Bell, being located at that, time on the south side of the main street where the Henaughan establishment's now located. This was back about 1897. After doing a prosperous business in this location, it was moved about 14 years ago To the present place' where it has been ever since.

Ever since it opened in the old stand this restaurant has been operated at a nigh state of efficiency and for cooking and service could not be Since Cthe present management bought Bob Bell out in January of 1920 the business has not gone back, nor even stood still but has steadily been improved, both as" to equipment and business until It occupies a unique position as the "best restaurant on the Lincoln Highway." During the past year a new. and complete layout has been installed despite the tact that the equipment that was replaced was generally regarded' as far in advance of the needs of an institution in this size 1 a town. The present proprietors are Hugo Carlson, veteran in the restaurant game in this, and James Halikias. for some nine years proprietor of the New, DeKalb restaur-ant, which he sold some months ago to Dan Hugo Carlson was associated wlth Robert Bell under the former Tnaniffmont for nm17 -years 'ero- inff to the place when he was about 18 years of age. This gare hjm a splendid experience that makes him an expert to the restaurant business.

Mr. Halikias had managed his own establishment most success fully for a long time and the combination of the two young. and ambitious hustlers has made a strong one. The new 'equipment that has been installed is ono of the finest that -human ingenuity can device tor the preparation and service of food. One of the important units is a four-ton ice machine, installed by the Creamery' Package Of this city.

There, are. of course, the usual dish i potato peeler, and a German, silver steam table, on the kitchen "which perfectly performs the function of keeping the food warm, and palatable. The personnel and service at the Ben restaurant is always maintained on high a level as the mechanical outfit. It is the best that can be procured.

There is a lull force to take, care of any demands at an times. Three chefs are kept busy in the kitchen of the establishment. In addition there is a pastry cook who Is an adept at preparing the dainty pies and other desserts for which the place is famous. There is -the usual staff of dishwashers and other aids in the klt-chen and the place is run with all of the system that can be devised for the operation of an establishment of its importance. There is no- possibility at any time of inconvenient waiting for service for everything is run on a clockwork basis.

A force of nine waiters is kept busy on tedajr time shifts and the place is crowded at every meal. During the night hours there are two waiters constantly on duty and there is hardly an hour of the time, day or night, that Mime one will not be found enjoying the well cooked products of the kitchens. The restaurant is never closed.
