"The Man on the Job." 



Blessed is the man that has found his 

 job and is in harmony with it. Such a 

 man will do good service for his fellow 

 men. Occasionally one meets a case so 

 lacking in adaptation that it seems im- 

 moral for the workman to continue in it ; 

 but it is a joy to see a man working with 

 enthusiasm and with efficient service. 



Such thoughts often recur to the 

 writer's mind as he sits at a table in The 

 Stamford Lunch and notices how skiU- 

 fuUy the proprietor, Mr. Fred McDer- 

 mant, conducts his establishment. Mr. 

 McDermant is in a class by himself. He 

 stands distinctly and conspicuously be- 

 yond and above some of his fellows. He 

 is efficient. In the writer's opinion Mr. 

 McDermant is the most efficient restau- 

 rant manager that he has ever known. 

 Hundreds of people in Stamford voice 

 a similar sentiment. Skill, unfailing 

 courtesy, the menu well selected, the food 

 w^ell prepared and attractive in appear- 

 ance, are a few of the features that make 

 an ideal restaurant. All of these, with 

 minimum rates, may be found at The 

 Stamford Lunch. Why do not some 

 other restaurants elsewhere emulate his 

 example? To do so would be to their 

 advantage. Some other restaurants in 

 other towns seem absolutely immoral in 

 their slovenly and desultory conduct, with 

 their lack of neatness and, perhaps still 

 worse, their lack of courtesy. 



We laud a man and build a monument 

 to his memory wdien he dies in the service 

 of his fellow men, but we should not 

 forget to patronize as well as to honor 

 the man that feeds his fellow men and 

 does it well, and in these days of the high 

 cost of living does it for only a moderate 

 and honest compensation. Air. McDer- 

 mant is providing fare as good as can be 

 found in New York City or in any other 

 city at many times his prices. No one 

 knows how he does it, but that he does it 

 is pleasingly evident. Many attempts 

 have been made to solve the puzzle. The 

 only possible explanation is that he is 

 exactly the man for the place.
