Frontier Cafe Is
Enlarging Counter
The recently completed Fron
tier Cafe already has grown too
small for its diners. That’s the
reason Frontier patrons this
week have been snatching bites
between hammer blows, for own
ers Richard and Agnes Brooks
are enlarging the lunchcounter
so that more seats can be in
stalled. The counter will be
doubled in a horseshoe pattern,
giving added seating space there
without disturbing the dining
tables placed at the opposite side
of the cafe.
The remodelling is expected to
be complete within the next day
or two.
