i Lauderdale's cafe presents a most
attractive appearance.
The entire interior has been con-
structed of Iburned wood which
closely resembles an old fashioned
log cabin, the beams overhead are
of the same material, and the tops
of the foursome tables have also
been treated in like manner. The
floors have been sanded and stain-
ed in natural oak and the whole is
lighted with neon lights.
It is largb enough for entertain-
ing a party of Mends, a club or a
sniallbanquet, and 16 the first such
place to be opened In this town.
he front of the cafe is also worthy
of special mention as it is being re-
arranged this week and the counter

in the hot table and in the refrlgera
tion system.
