TAGS THULTEZTl J Tha OSEGOtl STATESMAN, i Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning. August 6. 1SU By Ethan Grant V. A. lot pf Big Business people go bankrupt because they should have, been little Business people. TThey go fishing for shark with a fly rod. A man with scarcely enough ' sense to mustard up - a hotdog wants to operate a slaugh ter house; Successful people' are rlhose whd know their , own limi : tations. v , C;.;.' YY- Flora Walker, ; a : housewife, dreamed of owning a small res taurant. Not a. big restaurant, but 'something the ordinary housewife could run efficiently. Her . hus . band. y. O. Walker, had a good , Job and could still buy her nylons, if there ; were any nylons. But their daughter, Jerry, had grown up and. married, and Mrs. Wal ker wanted more action than she got pushing a - Vacuum sweeper, :. She. war ja' good cook and she luted to see people eat ' So she bought the Chili Queen Seven ; feet' Wide, with a three- foot' kitchen. It had no past to .speak of and promised only a very " limited . future. i.Its -counter has seven ' stools so close together customers practically sit on one ' another : and sometimes'- don't know whose coffee cup is whose. But from 7 ajn. till 7:30 pm. these stools are constantly occupied. And not because of a restaurant shortage, for there are two others close by -that get only ; the over flow.' J I happened into the Chili Queen for a cup of coffee. I had to wait for a seat. The other customers were a navy lieutenant, a business man, two mechanics and a pair cf sauors. Others came, looked in - ' and went away. When a stool was vacated, somebody popped right in and grabbed it Being interested in Little Busi i ii ess people, ,! began looking for what made the place tick. One thing in abundant evidence was an' atmosphere of good-natured ribbing. The customers called Mrs. Walker "Flo" and she called them by their first names. Which . meant they were regular custom- . ers. V I went back at noon, and I got the best meal Td had in weeks. Plain palatably - seasoned home cooking, prepared by Flo on a range wedged into one end of the three-foot kitchen. So I, too, be came a 'regular customer. The . menu, X found, was somewhat lim ited, yet 'sufficiently varied that you wouldn't soon 'get tired of - it The quantities were generous and Flo .and her helpers,-daughter Jerry and a young lady called Rosie, kept the coffee cup .filled. But at the Chili Queen It's not just the. good food and courteous service. How Flo and .her two helpers manage to serve so many diners In so small, a space is a tribute' to feminine efficiency. The restaurant and kitchen combined isn't any larger than an ordinary home kitchen, but the difference is that it isn't stuffed with a lot . of stores and equipment ; Y 'Y i-r.y Try to imagine the appearance of a home kitchen with three wo- men trying to feed, say, 150 peo- Ele. Why, there'd be pots and pans nd dirty dishes and potato peel ings and flour and garbage and empty boxes and wrapping paper and backaches all over the place! Mrs. Walker is a culinary ma gician. At 7 a. m, the shelves and the refrigerator in the rear con tain only enough bacon and eggs and. such for' just ao many custo mers When . it's all ;; gone, the breakfast hour is over, or vice versa.1;': "Y Y ,.v -' ; Y Y: f Y - Jhe , evening meal specialty - Is f teak 'and, magically at closing time the refrigerator is as empty s life after i a busted romance. "Once Mon had a serving left over Jerry said, "and -she thought something was . wrong With her cooking." VT.-Y Y ?When the door is finally lock ed, everything is as spic and span it if tomorrow they'd planned to open a new drug store. 1 YT-..1 . Watching Mrs. Walker and the girls, the secret of their efficiency ttuickly ' unfolds. rEvery : move is made when it needs to be made. If there's a spot on the counter, it's promptly J wiped off. When customer finishes, his tableware is removed and washed. Immediate ly; Nothing'! put off. They Jus don't let things pile up. Every thing that needs doing is done in stantly. ..-.' :- :yV ''I- Y ;.' It explains why some little Business people can be successful in a seven-foot restaurant, when some Big Business people go bankrupt But, of course, very few Big Business people can cook, es pecially like Mrs. Walker can.
