07 11 NEW TAVERN TO BE OPENED BY POWERS AT
PIPERSVILLE SOON
Watertown's famous Powers Inn [200 N. Second] will have a "kid sister" establishment at Pipersville within a week, Ray Powers announced here yesterday. The new tavern, which will also bear the Powers name, famous as a hostelry and bar, will occupy the same building as that known to the Pipersville community for some time.
Extensive modernization and considerable redecorating has been necessary, Mr. Powers said, delaying the opening of the new place a week, as it was originally scheduled to open last Sunday. Among the many improvements and changes will be a new and attractive barroom and a commodious dance floor. The Pipersville place will feature the same type of drinks and lunches as are now being served at the attractive Watertown Inn, which weekly attracts hundreds of out-of-town visitors to the city.
