An ad appearing late in 1921 gave the location of the Royal Cafe as "south side of the Public Square" and noted the offerings included "candy and grapes, the finest on the market" as well as refreshing beverages, along with a piano player to provide entertainment. No proprietor was named. In the spring of 1922, Mr. Young had surgery and was down for several weeks. By mid-July, he was the Adair County agent for 7th Street Garage, a large used car operation headquartered in Louisville and headed by Adair native C. T. Stults. - Jim Comments | Permalink
