Francois, "Cuisinier", "Traiteur", Rue Seutin Brussels Circa 1930
« on: Wednesday 16 January 19 13:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Everyone,
Have recently been rummaging around in an old brown suitcase belonging to my great-grandmother Alice Gurner (nee Kershaw).  Found some kind of a business card advertising "Francois" a cuisinier and traiteur, with an address of 60, Rue Seutin, Schaerbeek, Bruxelles 3.
This I'm pretty sure is from about 1930.
Is this some kind of catering firm, and does anyone know anything of its (maybe shortlived) history, or if it exists still either there or somewhere else today?
Many thanks,
Keith

In 1930 and 1932 number 60 is occupied by a professor, but in 1935:
