Emil's Steer Inn, Columbus OH. Emil’s Steer Inn, Columbus OH. Get it? If you don’t, the card will drive the point home with an elbow. “A popular slogan here, is: ‘Steer Out to Emil’s Steer Inn.’” Yes, folks used that slogan at every possible opportunity. Got so annoying they had to burn the place down just to get folks to shut up about it.

The card also calls Emil’s “The Nation’s newest and most ultra-modern eating place,” and they may have had a point. That’s a cool looking space. Dig those crazy light fixtures, too. According to the Columbus Libabry, the joint was founded by Emil W. Windmiller. And for this image alone, let us say: Thanks, Mr. W. And today? Don't click. It's an Arby's.
