ECENTLY The Star published a series on Seattle men who are “getting there.” A woman reader wanted to know why we didn’t publish a series on WOMEN who are “getting there.” Why not, indeed? So today The Star submits the story of the career of Mrs. M. A. Porter, eight years ago a newlywed with no other ambition than to be a model housewife—today a business woman known all over the country. Her husband quit his job and went to work for her. Read her story. There will be more from time to time.

A. Bird, proprietor of Bird’s Cafeteria, is recog- nized as one of the foremost men in his line in the Northwest. And Mr. Bird believes in letting the public know about it when he makes a step forward in his business. He has just made such a step, by establishing a handsome breakfast room fronting on Third ave. and connecting directly with his cafe- teria. So, with characteristi¢ energy Mr. Bird has bought an entire page in today’s Star to tell the peo- ple of Seattle and surrounding territory about his new place and also a few of the reasons why he has been so successful in catering to the public. In 1906 Mr. Bird started Seattle’s first cafeteria, and he numbers his friends by the thousands. Mr. Bird’s ad appears on page 9 in today’s paper.
