Note!"

Restaurant which is said to use Non-union Bread or to employ Non-union

JEWISH WORKERS TAKE NOTE!
We are informing all Jewish workers
and our
friends that
WEINSTEIN BROTHERS RESTAURANT
Centre and Fifth Avenues
are using bread and rolls delivered by non-union
drivers.
We ask all workers and friends who
eat at
Weinstein Brothers Restaurant, most of whose custo-
mers are working people in the Hill District, to
see to it that Weinstein's should use bread and rolls
that are baked on the Hill and are delivered by
union drivers. We hereby make known that all other
Jewish restaurants on the Hill use bread baked on
the Hill and delivered by union drivers.
on
guard!

*Note: The Yiddish-language broadside carries no date, but it almost
certainly can be ascribed to a time shortly after August 15, 1930. On that date, the Yiddish minutes of Local 44 reflect
a unanimous decision by the Local’s Executive Committee to place
announcements in the Vorwaerts (The Forward, the
Socialist Paper) and the Freiheit (Freedom, the
Communist Paper) “that at Weinstein Brothers, a restaurant, bread is being
delivered by non-union drivers.” (AIS 78:21 Minutes of August 15, 1930, Vol.
1, page 244)
