If a $10 American flag displayed in the front window of a food emporium proves that the proprietor is a loyal American, then the signs of the German Café, a delicatessen at Ninth and Oak streets, probably will not be demolished in the future. Harry J. MEYERSIECK, proprietor of the café, has had to have the signs on the front of the café repainted several times because someone changed the worked "German" to "American." W. O. CHILTON, a traveling man, and friend of the proprietor, heard of the trouble. Yesterday he bought a $10 flag and with the consent of the café owner placed it in the front window. ====================================================== Additional info: Mr. MEYERSIECK was born 15 April 1869, Ohio died 18 March 1942, Kansas City, MO His father: William MEYERSIECK, born Germany His mother: Carrie TELTHESTER, born Ohio ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
