Restaurants

It was during the early 1950’s that The National Restaurant Association endorsed a new type of dinner called the “take home” meal. This was a meal that families could enjoy at home in front of their new black and white televisions.

McDonald’s unveiled their “Speedee System” at this time as well. Many restaurants had some form of drive-up window dating back to the 1930’s, but when the speaker system was integrated into the drive-thru system, the concept dramatically increased the popularity of fast food.
