This is “Our Past Is Present” from the Geary County Historical Society.
Today’s story
may bring back some memories about the “Good Eats Café”. The source of this
information is taken from an Industrial Issue of the “Junction City Republic”
newspaper of July, 1915. This is a portion of that article: “One of the neatest
and best appointed cafes in this section of Kansas is the Good Eats Café of
Junction City, owned and managed by Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Tomlinson. They have a
light and airy dining room with clean table linen and plenty of efficient help
to afford prompt and courteous service. The Tomlinson’s have three cafes. One is at 607 North Washington, one at 314
East 10th Street in Junction City and one at Eureka Lake (in
Southeast Kansas).
The front of
the Good Eats Café is arranged or public dining. The managers are considerate of the amusements
of their guests and at intervals provide a cabaret entertainment for a series
of evenings. You are welcome at this
place no matter whether you spend 5 cents or 5 dollars and you are given
courteous treatment at all times.
Our Museum
is hosting a special Smithsonian display titled “Water Ways”. It will be at our Museum at the corner of
Sixth and Adams Streets beginning tomorrow, January 6, through February 18. Our
Museum is one of only seven sites in Kansas where this display can be
seen. Please stop by and see the impact
water has on our play, our celebrations, our work and where we live. Learn where our community’s water comes from,
what the future holds for water and what you can do for water in Junction City.
And… thanks
for reading “Our Past Is Present” from the Geary County Historical
Society.
