week, as he had been doing, he
made a net of $500 the first seven
days under the new price sched
ule. The last few days have been
even better, he said. ,
Tuczak said dozens of other res
taurant owners have come to the
Green Feather to see how it's done.
A couple of them already have told
him, he said, that they plan to fol
low suit. v
Tuczak hopes they do.
It's a good thin.- he said. "I
hope it spreads all over town. The
restaurant business needs some
thing to revive it ,
Prices Profitable
By Glenn Enaie
DETROIT, Nov. 24-AV-MUsed to be like a moreue around here."
said Joseph Tuczak with a wide grin and a sweeping gesture toward
the loaded booths and stools in bis retaurant. fc
' He was talking about how bad business was up to Nov. 13. His
"Green Feather restaurant" on .Detroit's factory-studded west side Is
jumping now. ,
Why the change? Because Tuc
zak came up with a drastic formula
in a desperate move to get himself
out of. the red: slash prices and
raise wages to handle the extra
business. - - . i
. A pork chop dinner (two chops,
potatoes, vegetable, bread and but
ter) that used to cost $1.15 is listed
at 55 now. Chicken dinners were
carved from $1.35 to $.75; T-bone
steaks from $25 to $1.25.
- Tuczak says they're 1939 prices,
with only a few exceptions, for the
same size and quality meals ias
before. .. . f v p
In the restaurant business j 15
years, Tuczak moved the "Green
Feather" to its present site last
January. It had been a consistent
money loser from then on. j
Had One Customer
On November 9 a factory pay
day he had one customer in his
place. He had taken in exactly; 24
cents in three hours. So he began
wondering whether other restau
rants' in the neighborhood were
doing so badly. A personal investi
gation disclosed a total of nine
patrons in four restaurants and
17 employes idling away their time.
Yet his restaurant is near one of
the busiest Intersections in town
(Michigan and Livernois) and peo
ple were passing by, by the hun
dreds, as they changed bus and
street car lines. Something defin
itely was wrong, ,i
Tuczak went home and dug out
an 11-year-old menu. After debat
ing the move for several days he
called a sign painter to post simi
lar prices on his window. The
word spread and people began
flocking there, at first mostly out
of curiosity. ' :
Hamburgers 1$ Cents j -
Then their motive changed ! to
economy when they found they
could get hamburgers for 18 cents
instead of 30: coffee for six cents
instead of ten; sweet rolls for five
cents instead of 12; ham and eggs
or 45 cents instead of 80. i
Thanksgiving dinners liberal
portions of turkey, dressing, cran
berry sauce, . potatoes, vegetable,
bread and butter went for j 75
cents. Soup, coffee and dessert
could be added - with the total
check still under a dollar. t
The only exceptions . to 1939
prices, said Tuczak, are milk, cof
fee and pie. He said half pint bot
tles of milk which sold for a nickel
then now cost him six cents, so! he
charges eight. And the cups of cof
fee and the cuts of pie are larger
than they used to be. i
Business Rises : -' 1
Tuczak's gross business shot; up
from less than $500 the week be
fore November 13 to $3,600 the
week after; number of customers
rose from 50 to 60 to 1,000 a day;
number of employes from five to
18. He raised wages two or three
dollars a week o compensate em
ployes ior extra work in handling
the new-found business.
