Now that is interesting! I am sure the same could be said today, not 15 cents but better then what they do charge!

Frank Register, the restaurant man: "I can feed people on 15c dinners, give them all they want to eat, and make money. You say some men eat a quarter's worth; so they do, but others only eat 10c worth. In other words, I can calculate within three loaves of bread and three pounds of meat how much it will take to feed 100 men, and the average will be the same week in and week out. The hungry man who gets all he can eat is our best advertisement."
