After a little digging, we found that this plate was used at the coffee shop in Oklahoma City's Broadway Central Hotel, owned by B. M. Kahn.

We found ads for the Broadway Central Coffee Shop in The Oaklahoma Advance, circa 1922, with slogans such as:

“The sooner you eat at the Broadway Central Coffee Shop you sooner you’ll find the place you’ve been looking for”;

“The Best is not good enough for Broadway Central Coffee Shop guests”; and

“When you’ve supped at The Broadway Central YOU’VE supped.”

With the T. M. James & Sons distributor's backstamp in Kansas City, it makes so much sense for this to be from a Midwestern client, and not from the better known Broadway Central Hotel in New York City.
