31 South Fourth Street, he called "The Model Coffee-House." CROWDED FROM THE FIRST.
From the first it was crowded even to an uncomfortable extent.

The demands of its patrons soon rendered larger quarters a necessity.

A new building was erected specially adapted to the purpose, many novel features being introduced which a twelve-month's experience had suggested.
The _new_ "Model" opened June 1st, 1876.

Many persons thought it was too large, and that it would never be filled.

But it was thronged on the day of opening, and on every day since the demands upon it have been fully up to its capacity.
