About This Item
Los Angeles: Clifton's Pacific Seas Cafeteria, 1939. No date, circa 1940. Clifton's Cafeteria opened in the early 1930's during the height of the Great Depression, and instituted a "Pay As You Wish" policy ( seen in fine print on the card), never turning away a customer, and giving away many free meals. In 1939 it underwent a complete renovation and was transformed into a 3-story restaurant with South Pacific "Tiki" theme called Clifton's Pacific Seas. After Jack Kerouac ate there, he made mention of it in "On the Road". The restaurant closed and was demolished in 1960. The card is Very Good, small corner creases. Verso of card is blank. . First Edition. Cardstock. Very Good/No Jacket, As Issued. 4" x 6 ".
