Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Horn & Hardart was a food services company of the USA noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia and New York City. Philadelphia's Joseph Horn (1861-1941) and German-born, New Orleans-raised, Frank Hardart opened their first restaurant together in Philadelphia on December 22, 1888. The small (11 x 17 feet) lunchroom at 39 South Thirteenth Street did not have any tables, only a counter with 15 stools. Horn and Hardart initiated their first Automat restaurant in the USA in Philadelphia on June 12, 1902, borrowing the concept of automatic food service from a successful German establishment, Berlin's Quisiana Automat. The first New York Automat opened in Times Square July 2, 1912. Later that week, another opened at Broadway and East 14th Street, near Union Square. During 1924, Horn & Hardart opened retail stores to sell prepackaged automat favorites. Using the advertising slogan Less Work for Mother, the company popularized the notion of easily-served take-out food as an equivalent to home-cooked meals.
