Copeland Lunch
George C. Slayton, proprietor, 1661 Blue Hill Avenue, Mattapan
The Copeland Lunch, on the square at Mattapan. is an old establishment and recognized as an institution of the town, though the present proprietor, George C. Slayton, assumed the management only a few weeks ago. He is the successor to Mrs. Mary Kramer, by whom it was conducted for a long time very successfully. The Copeland is of the class known as “Quick Lunch” room, and is one of the best, as is shown by the large patronage it receives and the number who use it daily, the average being over 200. The dining and lunch counter extends from the front to the rear end of the long room and is capable of seating some 20 or more people at a time. Well-cooked food of the best the market affords is always to be had, and the place, though a small one, is attractively clean and fresh. A good cigar stand, with a well-filled supply of all the medium and tine brands, is one of the features. It is open from 6 a. m. to 2 a. m.
