LOUSY FOOD - WARM BEER - SNEERING SERVICE
From the Los Angeles Times... Tarzana had several interesting eating places in our early years there. A favorite was the Hangman's Tree, named for a huge, venerable sycamore that shaded the west side of the restaurant. Legend had it that early horse thieves were strung up in the sycamore gibbet. For a time, a stuffed dummy called Reseda Red swung from a branch on the end of a rope. On his chest was a sign saying, "Warm beer. Lousy food."
"Don't Be A Glutton! Leave A Little On The Plate. Remember, All Left-overs are used in our Sunday Hash for First Time Losers"
"A Real Fried Chicken Dinner... $2.00 - The Chicken we serve you is raised especially for us at the famous SIMMS RANCH, at Northridge. Incidentally, the owner DD Pop Simms is the proud father of the famed Jenny Simms."
