BOXED DINNERS AT DRIVE-IN Continued from page jN ten helpers at the counter as a usual , The biggest business is done during th first brealc when, as Havey says, "it's madhouse around here." Being set up fc speedy service counts at this time. Th refreshment house does not close until th last car leaves the lot and service is avail able as long as anyone wants it. "On night when we have midnight shows," says Ha vey, "we're around here until two or more. The refreshment building is kept free o cooking odors by three suction fans ani two breezeway fans in the kitchen. Fan outside keep the air moving and the tern perature comfortable. Fluorescent lightlni is used. Spraying done on a large scali early in the evening rids the area of in sects. The building is easily closed b: means of overhead doors which pull dowi and lock. Havey, who does all the buying, has hatf long experience in the field. An interesting period in his career was in 1912 when h< cooked for Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevel bought the first six-cylinder Packard evei to come off the line, and Havey drove hin on his Bull Moose campaign, going into the kitchen wherever they happened to stoi and cooking Roosevelt's dinner to his taste Theatre Popcorn Sales Popcorn is sold in 96 per cent of all indoor theatres. Sales at 10 cents amount to 84 per cent of the industry's volume Nickel sales are diminishing but account for 11 per cent. The combined sales in more profitable units of 15 cents, 20 cents and 25 cents amount to nearly 5 per cent of total theatre popcorn sales. >^^^^^^^^^^^^V^»MMMMWMMMVWMM* , ABSORBENT CLEANING TISSUES NOISELESS POPCORN BAGS AUTOMATIC POPCORN CARTONS RUSH HOUR POPCORN GOLDEN HULLESS POPCORN i)®pi fiilisi Mode by C.
