NEW GRILL PLEASES BROWN BEAR PATRONS
A ''sensation" is the word used by patrons to describe the sandwiches and steaks served from the new automatic grill machine recently installed at the popular Brown Bear tea-room on the Saranac Lake-Lake Placid road. This is the only grill of its kind in this section of the Adirondacks, according to M. A. Sweeney, proprietor. Three-minute service on steak and sandwich orders is now the rule at the Brown Bear, it is said. The new machine retains, all the meat juices, and everything cooked on it is done to the proverbial turn. The Brown Bear is proving one of the most popular resorts for dining and dancing with members of the summer colony.
