New Cafe Serves Three Hundred Guests on Friday Night

The new Oxford Cafe held its formal opening on Friday night and served an excellent lunch, free to all comers. About three hundred people took advantage of the generous invitation and between the hours of 7:30 and 10:30 the Lyman brothers were kept busy. The new restaurant is handsome and well appointed. Six dainty tables will accommodate twenty-four guests while the lunch counter has seats for fourteen. The room has been handsomely decorated land looks very pretty and attractive.  This is by far the most ambitious attempt that has yet been made to give Denison a city restaurant. The proprietors are experienced men at the business and are well liked by all.  There can be no doubt but that they will succeed. Denison Review January 24, 1907
