THE MECCA.

DISTINCTIVE COFFEE' CAFE. NO. 9, SWANSON STREET. Nice and cool and refreshing is tho atmosphere of The Mecca, , that distinctive Coffee Cafe situated at No. !», Swanson Street, a few yards from Queen Street. Here business men can assemble over a cup of fragrant coffee 'containing a delightful aroma, served with fresh, rich cream, and enjoy a rest for a few minutes from the cares and worries that, from time to time, come to each one of us almost daily. What could appeal to business men more than to be able for a few minutes during the forenoon to enjoy the refreshing qualities of. the Mecca Coffee in the smoking room set apart for them, and chat over matters removed to a large extent from the world of- business?. These brief respites from duty, plus the excellent coffee provided at The Mecca, keep a man fit to carry on his work and that in a highly efficient manner. Numbers of , prominent business men in • the city ' assemble in this exclusive oafe at a cer- j tain hour in the morning, just about thai. time when they are beginning ■to feel- i the strain after three hours close atten- . tion to business, and tiie benefit derived i from a few minutes' relaxation and the j refreshment • provided enables them to cope with all the demands made upon ' their time until the lunch hour comes round. Without this little break spent in cool and enjoyable-surroundings, 'it > is questionable whether their efficiertCy would remain unimpaired. »Afternoon tea and morning' tea are also dispensed j at The Mecca and the excellence of the J brew is not less than that of the coffee J provided for the guests. - Standard • brands of cigarettes are obtainable on i the premises,' 'and every attention is ' given to patrons of this select institu- j tion. Ice-creams and soda fountain drinks are available to all those who desire them, and to many dTiring the hot summer months these are most welcome,. to say' nothing of being appreciated. In addition to the features of-The Mecca , already mentioned, lunch is served every - day- excepting Sundays.
