The snack bar grew to a cof- feo shop and then to a restaurant, foreing the bakery into another loca-| tion. The Smallenbergs disposed of the restaurant business last fall. During the intervening years Alf spent two years away from the res- taurant for health reasons, and es- tablished a successful woodworking shop, which he sold upon returning to the family concern. After welling last fall, Alf took a well-earned rest while keeping his eyes open for business opportunities, and Al went into a public account- ing business with Miss V. Glover. This was subsequently dropped ‘when the idea of a variety store was decided on, and Miss Glover comes into the store scene as accountant. Service and satisfaction to the customer will be the aim of the father and son combination in their mew business, and from past exper- iences with the hustling Smallen- bergs, there is no doubt the motto will be sustained.
