The biggest business is done during th<br />
first brealc when, as Havey says, "it's<br />
madhouse around here." Being set up fc<br />
speedy service counts at this time. Th<br />
refreshment house does not close until th<br />
last car leaves the lot and service is avail<br />
able as long as anyone wants it. "On night<br />
when we have midnight shows," says Ha<br />

The refreshment building is kept free o<br />
cooking odors by three suction fans ani<br />
two breezeway fans in the kitchen. Fan<br />
outside keep the air moving and the tern<br />
perature comfortable. Fluorescent lightlni<br />
is used. Spraying done on a large scali<br />
early in the evening rids the area of in<br />
sects. The building is easily closed b:<br />
means of overhead doors which pull dowi<br />
and lock.<br />
Havey, who does all the buying, has hatf<br />

period in his career was in 1912 when h<<br />
cooked for Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevel<br />
bought the first six-cylinder Packard evei<br />
to come off the line, and Havey drove hin<br />
on his Bull Moose campaign, going into the<br />
kitchen wherever they happened to stoi<br />
and cooking Roosevelt's dinner to his taste<br />
