Society
Matron Is
Cateress
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
Greenwich, Conn. (U.R) It
ie easy to find women who cook
lor a living, and it is possible
to find women who live without
learning how to cook but al
most never do you find a society
matron who makes a business
out of cooking.
Mrs. Pierce Onthank has a
three stove kitchen in the sort
of suburban neighborhood where
three-Cadillac garages may be
found.
She and an old family friend,
Mrs. Sally Duval, run a profit
able catering business that could
flourish in any community
where enough people give
enough parties.
They not only cook the food
personally on requests, but they
take over the table setting, food
serving and have somebody run
the vacuum cleaner after the
guests leave. 1
Mrs. Onthank is the wife of a
vice-president of the New York
City Chemical Corn Exchange
bank who never cooked a meal
in her life until World War II
eame along.
"I started baking cakes for the
USO in New London, Conn., for
their Saturday night parties. The
cakes didn't run into a full-
fledged catering service until
after the war when they moved
here.
"By 1945 I was making two
pies and two cakes and three
pans of brownies every day for
the local hospital's service shop"
Mrs. Onthank said. -
Finally in 1947 she and Mrs.
Duval decided to open a shop
where people could buy hot cas
serole dishes and homemade
cakes.
"A year later we were asked
to do our first wedding recep
tion," she said.
Party and wedding catering
got to be such a big business they
gave up their shop but kept the
name, "Pick-Up-Pantry" for their
service.
"It's hard work, but you can
make money at it," she said. "It
means a hostess can be ' com
pletely free. She can come down
stairs as the guests arrive with
her hair done and her nails per
fect what woman doesn't like
to entertain that way!"
