"Log Cabin" Bar and Restaurant
and chat after the labors of the day
no place affords better accommodation
than the "Log Cabin" Cafe at 419 East
Market street. The place is owned
and under the direct supervision of
Messers. R. E. Carter and L. S. Via,
two of the most popular men within
the confines of our town. The front
of the store is devoted to the sale of
bottled and jug goods for family use
and medicinal purposes. In the rear
of this is a handsomely fitted bar
where a choice line of liquors, wines
and beers are dispensed by one of the
most expert mixoligists in the city.
A full line of cigars and tobaccos are
carried and a splendid trade is enjoyed.
The adjoining place is utilized as a
restaurant where meals and lunches
are served at all hours. The service
in this branch of the business cannot
be excelled, while the cooking is all
that can be desired. The kitchen is
presided over by a corps of expert cooks
who are adopted in the art of preparing
tempting dishes. In the liquor
line the firm makes a specialty of the
famous "Old Gray" brand and it has a
wide reputation. Mr. Carter was born
in Albemarle County, and came here
in 1886 to enter the meat business.
He made a success of this and continued
it until 1898, when he entered
his present line with Mr. Via. The
latter was born in Louisa County, Virginia,
and came to this city in 1891.
