Sit), was a pre-tiki establishment located in the Loop in downtown Chicago. Incredible neon signage created by the White Way sign company of Chicago. You would enter this downstairs restaurant through a foyer with a tiki and a splashing fountain. Beaded curtains separated the cocktail lounge from the long dining room. Glass panels in the ceiling lit the room. Lots of greenery and a huge fake tree along one wall. Lunch and dinner were served 7 days a week. Closed in 1981. Wayne C. Sit died in 2006 at the age of 88.

I think you'll find that we're quite fair. Thank-you! Terms of Sale I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a bid. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
