64 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES -- Greater Oshawa Edition -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, ---- a Em mm mr 0 4 00 4 40 4.00 di A. 1 0.50 0 New "Traymore Savarin" Adopts High Standards A French Chef Will Cook the Food and Dainty, Uniformed Waitresses: Will Serve It--Oshawa Provided With Company's Last Word in Improvements. Prepared to serve well over two thousand people daily, the Traymore Restaurant in the Alger Block is _ just on the eve of opening. Final mechanical connections have yet to be completed, but for a week the Testaurant's storerooms have been filled with the choicest products of Europe, the tropics and this con- tinent. A staff of forty employees, headed by Manager. R. H. Garnett, are ready to open the doors of the Traymore Savarin to an expectant public, and to give Oshawa a service such as is ordinarily to be found only in the greater cities. The corporation known as Tray- more, Ltd, with head offices in the C.P.R. Building, Toronto, is headed by G. G. Plaxton, President. Mr. George W. Wagar, Ceneral Manager of the Company, has personally su- pervised every step in the equipment here of the latest, and in many ways finest, branch of the Traymore ser- vice in Canada. They came to Oshawa, Mr. Plaz- ton states, in response to demand from local citizens who, knowing Traymore service, also knew that Oshawa would give the heartiest support to the venture. Before attempting to describe the splendid restaurant and kitchens which form the Oshawa Traymore Plant, it should be stated that Man- ager R. H, Garnett has for his chief of staff, M. Camille Ruffy, Parisian chef, who, if time can be found for it, will be welcomed with more than ordinary cordiality. The name "Traymogye Savarin" has been adopted to denote the type of new service restaurants which Tray- more Limited are opening throughout Canada. 'Other branches are of the cafeteria or self-service class. In this type of restaurant, however, pat- rons will be attended by dainty like waitresses, the carrying of food by customers being entirely eliminated. Traymore's new service restaurants are therefore distinguished by the name "Traymore Savarin." Savarin is the name of the great French dieti- tian. Coupled with the name Tray- more it will dignify a strictly service restaurant and the highest in qual- ity of both food and service. Monsieur Ruffy is a distinguished chef thoroughly familiar with both the American and Canadian predilec- tions in cookery, and can turn out the choicest sauces of Paris, He, of course, ably supported by a staff of assistants, will be the direct- ing head of the kitchen a:.d will make the name Traymore Savarin in Osh- awa synonymous with the best in art as well as science of cookery, The restaurant, fronting on King Street East, with huge plate-glass windows soon to be decorated with rich draperies, has seating accommo- dation for one hundred and fifty guests at a time. There are seven semi-private booths, twenty tables, and a table service with thirty-six chairs. The floors of the restaurant are of pol: ed terazzo laid in black and white marbled squares. Consideration has been exercised in selecting the interior illumination so as to give a warm comfortable glow. The walls are fitted with num- erous two-light candle brackets and from the ceiling hang beautifully decorated semi-indirect bowls. Waitresses will be dressed in uni- forms of an attractive blue shade, glistening white aprons, and caps lined with the Traymore orange. The counters of the restaurant are built of composition, in mottled mar- ble-like surfaces. Each of the thirty- six places has its revolving backed chair, and a new feature is that pat- rons are given an extra foot of leg- room over any similar installation in Canada. Accommodation is also provided at tables and in attractive alcoves where parties of four may have their meals in private. Fresh linen serviettes will be supplied. This new restaurant also includes many additional features, all intended to contribute to the comfort and en- joyment of its guests, such as wash- rooms, restrooms, modern ventila- tion, etc. Serving tables are to be equipped with silver thermos bottles to supply the purest fresh cool water, Another feature of the service will be free relishes, and these of the best qual- ity in the Empire. , . Quality will mark all the food going into Traymore service. Sauces and catsups will bear the name of their makers, for Traymore recognized some time ago that the sauce bottles always indicates the restaurant that is either putting somthing over or trying to sell for less than cost. A feature of the restaurant will be the large and fully equipped foun- tain service, where all kinds of ice nameless, cream, sundaes, sodas and fountain drinks in general will be served at all hours. The plant has its own el- ectrical carbonation and refrigeration plant for the fountain, distinct from other installations. Payment will be by check and ca- shier system. Display cases carrying a complete line of cigars, cigarettes, ete, will surround the cashier's desk. The eastern section of the Alger Building's first floor, ail of which with basement has been leased by Traymore, provides a kitchen as large as the ordinary pullman palace car and of about the same dimensions. Arched service windows open from it on the dining room, and two bat- teries of shining coffee runs supply coffee by fountains to the main res- taurant. Teas specially blended and put up in hygiene tea-bags is to be served in individual pots. The kitchen equipment is of the most modern character and absolutely sanitary. Entering from the restaur- ant, the first unit 'on the right is a large steam table where cooked foods required for immediate service are kept at the right temperature and at the right degree of humidity. On the left are the short order range, the huge main range, bainmarie, and steamer. All cooking is by gas, with electric auxiliary service provided. Oshawa citizens are attracted by the new Traymore electric sign, which employs the Neon gas prin- ciple already familiar in connection with General Motors' office building. A Detroit contractor, C, H. Keller, President of the Contractors' Equip- ment Company, travels twenty thous- and miles a year by air in the con- duct of his business. He takes turns with his mechanic in piloting the plane and disposes of his correspond- ence by dictaphone when not atthe "stick." The headquarters and delivery service of Tod's Bread Limited, Church and Bond streets, Oshawa's leading bakers, probably cannot be surpassed in a city of this size in Ontario. The entire city is covered thoroughly the plant itself including the ovens and other i baki tis g the best to be found anywhere q by the large number of salesmen and delivery wagons as shown here while Merritt Paint and Auto Repair Co. Will Rebuild Part of Canning Factory Building Gutted By Fire Preparations for contracts have been made for the rebuilding of part of the Merritt Paint and Automobile Repair Company's plant on King street west, involving an expenditure of some $10,000 necessary to house this growing Oshawa business which sustained partial destruction by fire earlier in the year. While the walls of the former building withstood the fire admirably, the gutted interior will be completely rebuilt. There will be three floors each with 48 by 110 feet floor space. This section of the plant will be used for mounting and storing bodies. : Since the fire, though hampered in some respects, the business of the plant has been carried on without serious interference. In fact, despite the fire, the year will probably close with another production record to Mr. Merritt's credit. William Merritt, proprietor of the business, has lived in Oshawa all of his life. His parents came to this city and settled on what is still known as the Haley Place, nearly 100 years ago. Thus Mr. Merritt is representative of Oshawa from the pioneer days when it was first desig- nated a post office until now when it is one of Canada's most prosperous cities, Mr. Merritt was with the Me- Laughlin Carriage Co. Ltd. for 25 years. In 1911 he bought out the coal and general fuel business own- ed by W, H. Thomas & Son. He sold this business in 1920 to James C. Fowlds of H. M. Fowlds & Son, and went ta Bowmanville where he opened business. During his three years in Oshawa's Durham neighbor, he was a member of the Town Coun- cil for two of them, The present business was estab lished in 1924. Having the important district agency for the Duco process, the local plant is also a service sta- tion for the Canadian Carriage and Body Co., of Brantford. In the Mer- ritt plant all kinds of bodies are built, both of standard and special design, both for 'automotive and horsedrawn type. All sorts of re- pairs are made, and a specialty of the plant is the repairing of wrecks and putting them in good shape for service again, Some of the most seemingly hopeless assortments © wreckage are brought here from all parts of the nrovince, only to he brought out later ro well rebuilt that the ordinary observer might suspect magic, The growth of the automobile busi- ness is strongly reflected in the Merritt Plant. A s: cial section is devoted to the repair and straighten- ing f fenders. Building of special truck hodies for ato truck chassis is another im- portant division of the work.
