Pight and you will be more than

chicken and steak dinners, sizzling

Their oyster bar is now in full
Swing. Try their steamed oysters once
and you will be a regular patron.
This writer has—and personally rec
ommends them to the public.
It’s a common expression, “Meet
me at Gurkin’s Tavern”, which, of
course, means that is a popular estab
lishment. This is an indication of the
great popularity of the place. Since
being established it has gained in
popularity until today it occupies the
position of being one of the leading
social centers in this section.
The management of Gurkin’s Tav
ern invites the people of this territo
ry to pay them a visit. Gurkin’s Tav
ern is known for good food. A repu
tation sustained by the community as
well as motorists and the traveling
public.
The courtesy and attention of the
attendants is a feature that receives
more than passing notice from the
patrons.
Mr. Gurkin, seeing the opportunity
of the day, has established a tourist
camp that is a real home for the
family and car with all modem facil
ities at popular rates.
Mr. Gurkin welcomes all motorists
.to Gurkin’s Tavern who wish to stay
for one night or longer at his mod
ern camp and can assure them that
every convenience wll be placed at
their disposal. This Tavern is co-oper
ating in every way possible with the
Defense Program of America.
