Tinder & Son.

The splendid, spacious and attractive
restaurant located at the Union Depot
and conducted by Q. T. and C. J.
Tinder under the firm name of Tinder
& Son is one of the very best establishments
of its kind in the South. From
the picture it may readily be seen
what a clean, well kept and handsome
looking place it is. This restaurant is
known to thousands of the traveling
public all of whom are loud in their
praises for the superb service, good
food and reasonable prices. Messrs.
Tinder & Son have conducted the business
here since 1903, and have done
all in their power to make it one of
the very best eating places in the
State. The meals served here compare
favorably with those of the
best hotels in the largest cities, out
side of such ultra-fashionable and
extravagant places as the St. Regis,
Waldorf-Astoria of New York, or the
New Willard of Washington, and this,
to a restaurant keeper in a town the
size of Charlottesville is surely a flattering
testimonial. Mr. C. J. Tinder
has general supervision of the establishment
and sees to it that everything
works in a first class manner. In
fraternal circles he is an Elk and is very
popular with all who have the pleasure
of his acquaintance. Mr. Q. T.
Tinder is a gentlemen of fine executive
ability and one who is held in the
highest esteem by our people.
