This "coffee shop" hadn't seen the light of day for many years until Ambrosia's previous, superfluous sign, which had been pressed flat against the facade, was removed. A search for traces of the older business yielded a page of classifieds from the 1940s. Schrafft's ran five ads on that page, for bakers, for waitresses, and for women and girls to do "candy packing." A single, much smaller ad sought a woman for "delicatessen kitchen work" at the address pictured here, but it didn't list a business name, only a telephone number. The trail dead-ended at INgersoll-2.
