We began this tradition back in 1937 when we opened "Weber's Restaurant." Although some people think our hotel came first, it was actually added some thirty-three years later. We recently completed the remodeling of our main dining room to give it a more casual, relaxed feeling. At the same time we've been busy fine-tuning our service techniques and working with Chef Gerald Carpenter, a graduate of the Culinary Institute Of America, to develop new lunch and dinner offerings that are more moderately priced. Items like pastas, stir-frys, and fresh fish. Although we've made some dramatic changes, you can rest assured that we've kept all your traditional favorites on the menu, we didn't raise the prices, and we haven't forgotten the personalized service you've come to know us for. As special invitation, we're offering you the attached certificates good for valuable savings when you join us for lunch or dinner to experience the all new "Weber's Grand Cafe". So pick up the telephone and make your reservations today. After all, we're a little eager to show the place off! i(Vvi Wa62/t Ken Weber Herman Weber COMPLIMENTARY LUNCH T Present this certificate and receive one complimentary luncheon entree from Weber's I when another luncheon entree of equal or greater value is purchased.
