CHRIST BROTHERS WILL
OPEN FIRST CLASS IRILL
Russien Boys Advance Rapidly
After Coming to Their
Adopted Country
The opening of the new Imperial
Cafe bv Christ Brothers brings to
light the rise of a couple of ambi
tious Ktissian boys who have been
in this ountry but a few years. Dur
ing tint time they have mastered the
.ooking and catering business and are
e'jual to holding their own in any
company.
John and jarucs Christ, whose
names in Russian are Ivan and Theo
dore Christoffsky, were born at Tif
lis, Russia, the town that boasts of
being the home of General Rrussiloft,
Russian general who won great vic
tories over the Germans before the
morale of the Russian army began
to cave in and the dawn of the revo
lution. Their father was a railroad con
tractor, having spent 411 years in that
'business, the last 25 of which were
spent in constructing railroads for
tin- Russian government. Both their
father and mother are living at Tif-lt-.
as welT as two brothers, whom
the expect to bring to AUiany at the
close of the war. It has been four
months since John and Jim have heard
froni home.
They have a brother-in-law wjio is
an officer in the Russian navy in the
Baltic Sea, two cousins and two un
cles in the army.
John Christ, the elder of the two
bo s, came to America in 1910 ami
bciran working in hotels. Jim came
in 1012. and they were both employ
ed in the Hotel Tacoma for a time,
later going to the Hotel Raymond,
Washington where they worked for
four years. After that they came to
Albany and were connected with the
Hoted Albany for three months,
when they purchased the Home Res
taurant. The Home was closed this
week and their newest venture, the
Imperial Cafe, will open Thursday
morning on First street.
The Imperial will be the finest res
taurant in this city, and will be first
class in every respect. As far as
possible the entire house was tur
nis.ned by local firms, the Albany
ilan-.ng Mill making the counters and
inside fixtures. The dishes -were r-
lered through the Barker Hardware
.-onipany, who also did the plumbing
ivork. The chairs and, the linoleum
were supplied tnrougn me ronmmcr
1-urniture Co.. and W m. Hotlich in
stalled the lighting and fixtures. F.
O. lenkins is responsible for the
nainting and decorating, and the
Oregon Power company supplied the
big electric sign which will hang in
tront of the building.
