10-B
TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 18, 1D1.
ALWAYS SERYES THE BEST Managers and Owners of the Calumet Restaurant.
Calumet Restaurant Has Made That
Its Motto Since Start.
(FEEDS 2,600 PEOPLE A DAY
Ttto rroprielom Give Prrsonnl At
tention to (he Mnnnirement of
(he Calnmet, Looking
After Patrons.
The principle of pervitin the best possl
tie food for the smallest price has made
the Calumet restaurant, 1411 Douglas
etreet, the most popular, restaurant In
Omaha. Dally over Z.OOtpeoplo are fed
there, the meals ranging from a 10-cent
lunch to a full course dinner.
During the noon hour of any week day
may bo seen a constant stream of men
and women entering and leaving this
prominent eating house. Nearly every
business concern In the city Is represented
In the crowd and often the head of a
large firm finds himself seated beside
his most humble clerk, each enjoying the
meal Immensely. The secret of this
democratic patronago Is a simple one; In
each case either the splendid service, the
quality of the food or the price Is the
Attraction.
Sidney Swanson and Joseph TV. Colwell
nre the proprietors of the Calumet, and
a more efficient pair for this job would
be difficult to find. Each noon both are
giving their personal attention to the
comfort of the patrons, and at other
times of the day either one or the other
In always present. Both have had years
of experience In tho business and noth
ing seems to escape them which would
make the service at tho Calumet better.
Never Clo.r.
The Calumet' never closes. The key has
probably been thrown away. At any
hour 6f the Tilght one may obtain a square
meal there, and to those whose working
hours' are rortsrsed with the general
oheme of things, this feature Is a boon.
It takes ISO employes to keep up this
right and day servios, and Judging from
the cleanliness, the quality of cooking
aad the dispatch of service each Is espe
dally trained for his work.
To one without any restaurant experi
ence the amount of care and skill re
quired to successfully carry on this vast
business is Incomprehensible. To plan
f or so many mouths each day, to antic!
pate their wants, the weather and the
seasons, and all this without waste. Is a
task which requires expert generalship,
and the many years of continuous satis
faction since Its establishment In 1833,
attest how well the heads of the Calumet
have succeeded.
Excellent Brands T?s4.
The selection of the various brands of
food products to be used Is one of tho
tasks which requires careful judgment
for the maximum returns. To this phase
of the business the managers of the
Calumet devoto much attention. The
brand of coffee? for example, Is a
very Important matter, for thero Is no
other one Item which can make or spoil
an otherwise good meal so -readily as tho
coffee served. It Is a compliment there
fore to tho goodness of Courtney's An
kola brand, that It Is served exclusively
nt the Calumet. Pastry Is another Item
which must ba carefully looked after,
for this, too, helps or hurts a meal
greatly, according to Its goodness. Tho
selection of the kind of (lour to bo used
In pastry Is very Important. The Calu
met uses Bluo Bell flour, sold by Brunner
& Sons for this purpose, and those who
have tasted tho pantries at the Calumet
know their quality. In connection with
pastry It might be well to mention tho
famous mince pies which for years have
.held sway over all other forms of dessert.
Wince pie Is a matter of delicate discrim
ination with many people atod there are
those who will not eat It at restaurants
unless they are sure of the cleanliness
and quality of tho mince meat used. This
doubt Is entirely dispelled at the Calu
met, however, with those who know that
for many years tho famous Helms mince
meat has been used. Several other of
the "6r varieties find their way to the
Calumet tables, assuring the patrons of
Mgh grade catsup, pickles, etc. Tito
Al&wilto milk vied gives general satis
faction. Cole & Pry oysters have mada
that brand of food a favorlto with many
people who eat at tho Calumet, and It Is
a common sight to see many full dozen
orders spread before diners a meal time.
Clnnlttr Is ninth.
Probably the greatest factor in tho suc
cess it the Calumet has been Us con
stant aim to serve the very best meats
obtainable. These come from the Cen
tral market, which ja owned by the Kul
.akefsky Meat company, apd which firm
has gained much favor with Omaha. peo
ple for the good quality of Its meats.
The handling of the cash at a busy
noon hour at the Calumet la in the hands
of two lady experts, whose courtesy and
pktll have made many friends for them.
They use a National cash register and tho
constant ringing of this machine to
designate the payment of checks makes
a complete record of the number of cus
tomers served and the Individual and
total amounts received.
For years the I. A. Medlar company has ,
printed the comprehensive bill of fares'
for the Calumet, the dally changing of '
which la a. considerable Job. The cleanli
ness of the linen is an attractive feature
also, and the Evans-Model laundry boasts
of the fact that it does the work.
