THE PLAZA CAFE VIDALIA’S
LEADING RESTAURANT
In the restaurant business, as per
haps in no other, continued mainte
nance of a high standard of service
is absolutely necessary if on" ' to
succeed and there is a reason for it.
The average man cherishes, although
perhaps unwillingly, the memory of a
poorly prepared meal and when he
gets what n considers poor service at
a restaurant he is ant to f ry some
other place next time. The best
evidence that the PLAZA CAFE is
an estblishment which, once tried, is
always patronized, is shown by the
fact that many of those who patron
ized the place when it was first open
ed for business, are regular customers
today.
This is an exceptionally well equip
ped, sanitary and attractive restaur
ant ,and is popular with all classes of
people who appreciate good service,
