June 5, 1901: A Moment of Generosity at The Um-Te-Ump Summer Hotel This illustration from Puck magazine captures a moment of interaction between the Head Waiter, an African American man of impressive stature, and a well-to-do patron at The Um-Te-Ump Summer Hotel during the summer season of 1901. The Head Waiter, with a welcoming smile and outstretched hand, stands at the entrance to the Dining Room, ready to receive a tip from the man at the head of a long line of patrons. The man, dressed in the height of fashion, reaches into his pocket and hands over a generous tip, acknowledging the excellent service provided by the Head Waiter and his team. The Um-Te-Ump Summer Hotel was a popular destination for the wealthy and elite during the summer months, and this illustration highlights the role of the Head Waiter and the importance of tipping in the hospitality industry during this era. The larger-than-life-sized depiction of the Head Waiter emphasizes his significance in the dining experience, as he sets the tone for the evening and ensures that each guest is treated with the utmost respect and attentiveness. This illustration, titled 'The summer version of Pay! Pay!! Pay!!!', is a testament to the enduring tradition of tipping and the role it plays in the relationship between guests and hospitality staff. Despite the racial undertones and stereotypes that were prevalent during this time, this moment of exchange between the Head Waiter and the patron serves as a reminder of the human connection that can occur even in the most formal of settings.
