Comment
1d Token for one penny's worth of refreshments at Lockhart’s Cocoa roomsLockhart’s Cocoa Rooms being well-managed and conducted under careful supervision, are kept in excellent order, and have thus become widely popular. The public are supplied with all descriptions of refreshments, such as tea, coffee, cocoa, eatables in great variety, aerated drinks, &c. These commodities are supplied at very reasonable prices, and the establishments have thus supplied a very great want in this direction.
Messrs. Lockhart, Smith & Co., have eleven branches in Glasgow, three in Leeds, nine in Newcastle, three in Sunderland, two in South Shields, and one each in Gateshead, Jarrow, and Darlington. The head offices are at 75, Bishop Street, Anderston, whence the whole of the business is conducted. An enormous trade is done, and the firm are widely popular in all parts.
