YOU ORDER ANE+ UP POPS DINNER
•
Order for meal is dropped in slot and . .
. presto! up pops the food.
There's no waiting for the waiter in a New York restaurant
equipped with new "magic tables"—because there aren't any wait-
ers. Table, invented by John Bellion Dascher, retired waiter, has
a square hole sawed in its center, which is the "exit" of a dumb-
waiter leading to kitchen below. Customer writes out his order
and drops it down a slot in the table. When food is ready, trays
are put on dumbwaiter, kitchen attendant presses button, and
the meal ascends to the table. Above, Ignatuis Cushman, Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich., war veteran, his French wife, Yvette, and their
children, Christine and Miguel, try out the novel server.
