THE SANITARY CAFEAND CAKE SHOP

In the very near future Richfield will have a first class restaurant. First class not only as to the quality of the meals served but first class also as to decoration and equipment. R. T. Jones, proprietor of the Sanitary Cafe, will move this cafe from the present location to the premises next door south of the Neill Drug Store formerly occupied by Hansen Flour and Feed Store. Mr Jones is building a beautiful new front and putting in new and elegant fixtures. A lunch counter on one and a counter for exclusive bakery products on the other side will be installed in the front, while the back part partitioned off by an artistic arch will be used as a dining room.

Everything will be strictly modern and up to the standard of the name given to the establishment Sanitary Cafe and Cake Shop. The bakery products of Mr Jones will be tfiinnee ecakes and french pastry the bakery will be as neat clean and sanitary as the other rooms and equipped with the latest models of electric stoves under the supervision of the proprietor. The remodeling is being pushed day and night and Mr Jones expects to be ready to welcome his friends and customers in the new cafe about the middle of next week.

SANITARY CAFE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

J.H. Delong of Circleville, originally of Panguitch, purchased the equipment and good will in the Sanitary Cafe from R.T. Jones and since Wednesday morning he is the new manager of this well known restaurant. Mr. Delong has gathered experience in this business in other places and makes satisfied customers his foremost aim.

He intends to make several improvements and to cater to his patrons in a way that will let them forget the good services they had from Mr. Jones so they will be still better pleased under the new management than they were while Mr. Jones conducted the place.

Mrs. Delong will be her husband's assistant in the kitchen and as she has an excellent reputation for good cooking this department will lie properly taken care of.

Mr Delong's family will live in the house which has been the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Jones will stay in Richfield until Spring and then remove with his family to his newly acquired farming estate in the Delta country.
