ONE ARM LONGH MAGRATE DEAD Joim R. Thompson Bought a Restanrant at World’s Fair Chicago, June 18 (M—John R. Thompson's belief that he could make a better cup of coffee than one served him here in World's Fair Daya' started him in the restaurant business that netted him millions as he added to his “one arm” string, it was recalled today by friends of the late capitalist. Mr. Thompson died yesterday at the Highlands, hia Lake Forest es- tate, after an illness of six years. Thompson was 28 years old when he came to Chicago from down state with his bride to visit the Colum- bian ~exposition in 1893. After they had seen the fair, the pair came to- ward the downtown section and wandered into a restaurant on South State street. It wasn’t a pretentious place they selected, mnor was the meal particularly delectable, but the coffec was bad, very bad. “I can make a better cup of cof- fee than that myself,” said Thomp- son, according to the story he used to relate. “Maybe you want to try it,” the proprietor rejoined. “Maybe T do, and I will,” Thompson. “Buy the place said and you can,” came the next reply. Betfore the young visitor went out he had agreed to purchase it all, eved the mortgage. In that decision was be- gun a business which last year pro- vided 53,000,000 meals to patrons in Affierican cities.
