Over Million Meals Served In Ecusta Cafeteria
ESTABLISHED 3
YEARS AGO, IS
WELL EQUIPPED
Company Operates Cafe
teria And Cahteen For
All Employees
More than 1200 meals are pre
pared and served daily in Ecusta’s
^autiful and modern cafeteria.
This building is completely equip
ped with the most modern equip
ment that can be obtained.
The cafeteria was established
August 6, 1941, in order to provide
^ good place for Ecustans to eat.
Since its opening an estimated
|otaI number of 1,226,500 meals
have been prepared and served.
Nearly five years ago when the
Plant was first placed in operation,
Was not the easiest thing to find
^ place to eat near the plant. Ecus-
tans had to either grab a sandwich
the small canteen which was
heing operated at that time or
“^*ing their own lunch. To a man
^ho is working on a job that re
quires all of his skill and energy,
this plan of eating is not always
satisfactory, so the management
^ecided that something should be
'lone about it. And something
really big was done! We have
today one of the nicest and best
Equipped cafeterias in this part of
the country.
. The attractive cafeteria building
itself is very modern and well built
is designed so that employees
^an get quick and efficient service
and have a comfortable, pleasant
Place in which to eat. The cafe
teria is operated by the company
^ithaut profit, the main policy be-
to give good quality food to
employees at a reasonably price.
because of the nature of their
Respective jobs, it is not possible
for every Ecusta worker to eat his
Ideals in the cafeteria. Many of
he jobs in the plant require the
operators to stay in constant at
tendance. To take care of these
Employees, a lunch wagon is sent
h^ough the mill once during each
?hift. A menu, as full as possible,
carried on this wagon. ,
. breakfast is served every mom-
between the hours of 7:00 a.
and 9:00 a. m. Lunch begins
®t 11:30 o’clock with the Finishing
^^Partment. Other departments
^onie in later with the luncheon
Period being extended until 1
'^^lock. Supper is served at 8 o’-
to the Finishing department
to anyone else who is working
t that time and wants to eat.
^etween these regular meal times

Here’s A Typical Line In The Cafeteria
As in all cafeterias, Ecustans stand in line and make their
own selections as they trudge towards the cash register at the
end, and. long to get a table; to enjoy their meals. Do you recognize
any one in the above photo?

cooks in action. Shown above are Joe Duck
