To the Patrons of the New York Café
Appreciating the
many favors and courtesies shown me by the people of Scotland Neck, I wish to
thank my friends for same, and announce that I have sold out my interest in the
New York Café to my former partner, Bill Cottas, who will continue the
business, and I ask for him the continuance of your patronage.
I have another
restaurant, The Ideal Café, in Rocky Mount, and can hereafter be found there. I
shall be very glad to see any Scotland Neck people whenever they come to Rocky
Mount.
