NEEDED BADLY IN RENSSELAER

A First-Class Short Order Restaurant and Lunch RoomIn addition to the need of another large and modern hotel here, Rensselaer’s next greatest need and perhaps this is the_ paramount need at this time —is a first-class short order restaurant, one that will serve wellcooked • meals and lunches in a clean and attractive manner and that will make a real effort to please the public. At the present time there is no place in our city where one can get such service at all hours of the day or evening. One can secure meals at regular meal hours, also cold meat sandwiches and coffee. But this is all. It was understood that Mr. Reames, an experienced restaurant man from Morocco, had leaped Mrs. Haus’s restaurant room and would open up such a place, but it now appears that this is very indefinite,- and in the meantime the large amount of tourist travel through Rensselaer must gef elsewhere to get anything to eat unless they happen to strike the town at the regular meal hour and then take their chance ot having the supply of food cooked for the regular run of patrons being exhausted, or be content with a sandwich. There is no better point in the state for the location of a real eating place than Rensselaer.
