The Brucker Brothers
Emil M., Albert, Edward,
and Herman operated a hotel
and cafe in Denison for two decades.
A
1908 publication, "Denison, the Texas Gateway: A Busy, Progressive City
with GOlden Opportunities," described the Brucker Brothers Restaurant
thus: Among restaurants of the city, that of Brucker Bros. has
become recognized among the leaders, receiving a liberal share of
patronage from our businessmen and the general traveling public.
Everything served is strictly first-class, and the price for
regular meals is only 25 cents. Short orders are given special
attention and are served at all hours. Open day and night.
Skilled cooks are employed, also polite, accomodating waiters.
The bill of fare includes everything in season. The
proprietors know the business thoroughly and are popular citizens.
They also have a number of nicely furnished rooms in connection.
