ers as brown 'n serve breads,
ready-mixes for cakes, waffles and
pastries, frozen complete meals,
and an endless variety of canned
foods.
The National Restaurant Asso-
ciation will make no estimates of
how large the take-home business
has become, but said for some res-
taurants it represents as much as
50 per cent of their daily sales.
Boon For Non-Cooker
The take-home service is on the
increase, the association said. It
has added revenue, it helps to ad-
vertise their specialties, and it is
a booon for the housewife who doe i
not want to cook.
Not all the take-home foods are
fancy. Some dining spots offer
•sandwiches, others box lunches.
One Grand Central restaurant «n
New York offers a commuter's
dinner. Husband or working wife
can place the order in the morn-
ing on the way to work, and pick
up the complete meal in a box as
he or she dashes for the train in
the evening.
The association said some spe-
cialties ha\% caught on so well
they are more popular with the
take home customers than with
restaurant diners^. Pizza, the Ital-
ian pastry, is an example.
One of the fanciest take-out
services is offered by an inn in Lin-
coln, N'eb. Operator H. L. Jorgen
sen has menus posted along the
curving driveway leading to his
restaurant. Two-way speaicers take
the customer's order from his cai.
By the time the motorist has ar-
rived at the check-out counter, the
cashier has the order ready.
Chicken Top Favorite
A restaurant in Co Cob, Cann.
has grown from a 10-seat counter
operation in 1939 to a two-restau
rant sea food business, simply by
specializing in such take-out items
as clam chowder.
The association said that in
some part of the country barbe
cued meat or barbecued sauce are
best sellers. Chicken is a univer-
sal favorite. A St. Louis restaurant
does a booming business in fried
chicken cut into 14 pieces and

FRIDAY, OCT. 1, 19S*-BRECKENRTOQE AMERICAN—4
By MERRIMAN SMITH
DENVnR, Oct. 1 <UJ>>—Back-
stairs at the Denver White House:
Several stories have been in
print recently quoting Mrs. John
S, D"'U<1, the president's mother-
in law, as saying to Denver friends
that she does not think the Presi-
dent will run in 1956.
Most of these storieos seem to
steam from a taxi driver who hauls
Mrs. Doud occasionally—when the
President is not in Denver—and
this driver seems willing to relay
his conversations with Mrs. Doud
to subsequent passengers.
Either Mrs. Doud is sure of her
political facts or not sure of her
cabbie.
wrapped in a loaf of hot, toasted
French bread.
A Concord, N. II., restaurant re
ports a booming business in roast-
ing turkeys. Last Thanksgiving,
the restaurant cooked 300 birds for
new brides, inexperienced cooks
and families lacking the oven
space to roast their own.
"In short," an association spok
esman said, "the way the business
is booming, pop not only bring*
home the bacon ... he brings it
home ready to eat."

Wooly, warm and wonderful — Nelly de Cr b creates a jnmperdresa
in a Donegal Tweed knit jersey and makes it a doable duty costum-
for Fall. For this *he designed a blouse of wide and hnndscmc r,tr,Rf -
away collar dyed to match the tonc.s of the Tweed. Wear it wiih r
without the blouse for after-dark dancing.
Naturally, Mrs. Doud's concern
is for her daughter, who probably
finds life as the first lady as diffi-
cult and straining as the presi-
dency, itself—possibly more so.
The long vacation in Denver
seems to have agreed immeasur-
ably with Mrs. Eisenhower. She's
getting around town much more
this summer than she did last year.
She did not play hostess at her
husband's beef stew party earlier
this week at Cherry Hills Country
Club because she had a prior en-
gagement with some old friends.
The beef stew lunch originally
w.is planned as a stag affair and
Mrs. Ike made another date.

were added to the Cherry Hills
guest list, but Mrs. Eisenhower
could not changn her plans at that
stage.
Mr. Eisenhower is definitely par-
tial to black Angus cattle, which
he raises in small quantity on his
Gettysburg, Pa., farm, but after
seeing some of the fine polled
Herefords in this section, he says
he may try u few of this breed,
himself.
The Denver wnice rtouse has
been beseiged with requests for
the President's recipe for his two-
day vegetable soup (it takes tw-'
days to prepare it).
Members of the staff muBt, how-
ever, politely turn down these re-
quests.
The reason: the president
doesn't make it exactly the same
way each time, altering the in-
gredients somewhat as the mood
strikes him.
The weather in Denver is start-
ing to turn chilly at night. With
another trip to Fraser also in the
cards, members of the White
House travel party have had to
purchase or write home for heav-
ier clothing.
