Business & Finance: Improved Childs
With levity the New York Sun last week printed some alleged facts about Childs restaurants, facts which were not denied. Ac cording to the account, the management, which had shrewdly established white as symbolic of the cleanliness of foods served by the 3,500 white-clad waitresses in their 109 white-tiled restaurants, is as shrewdly beginning to insert cheer ful green among the white tiles. "Younger and prettier" serving girls are to be hired and are to wear uniforms trimmed with green. "The girls are just the same as the tile," an officer of the company is alleged to have remarked to the Sun. The gayety of color is supposed to conduce to the subconscious happiness of the customers. The pancake cooks (in the windows) will wear green coats, hats, trousers.
