This was the meal receipt used at the Jordan Pond House in 1979, At that time, there were separate hours for lunch, tea, and dinner - the restaurant was closed between services. Your waiter or waitress (then referred to by the staff as waitra) would come to your table with their hands behinds their back and commit your order to memory. They only used this receipt for the bill you received after your meal. This receipt came from George Soules who worked at the "Pond House" in 1977 and 1978, the last two years before it burned in 1979. That was the end of an era never to be experienced again.
