BUSINESS CHANGE

Worthington 's Well Known Restaurant Changed Hands on New Years Day.

 

A deal was consummated some weeks ago whereby the Biltgen and Devaney restaurant was sold to J.P. Biltgen and H.W. Steffens, the transfer being made on New Years day. Mr. Biltgen is well known to Worthington people as an experienced baker and restaurant man. His partner, Mr. Steffens, is a son of Mrs. Biltgen and a half brother of Mrs. Devaney. He is a printer by trade and has lived in Chicago for some years, and was until lately interested in a patent medicine business. The new firm will continue the business as before, making such improvements as may suggest themselves.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Devaney have been engaged in the restaurant business for eleven years continuously, and during all that time have steadily maintained the reputation of their establishment as the best in the county. They both feel the need of rest and change, and will take a long vacation before venturing again in business.

A.S. Frane, who recently bought the Ideal restaurant from Wm. Thompson, last Saturday closed up that establishment and moved to Round Lake , where he has rented a hotel property. The stock of the restaurant was shipped to Round Lake this week.
