A representative of The Advertiser. on the usual rounds. looking for news, drop ped in the Randy Kitchen yesterday af- ternoon. and after enjoying delicious Florodora. asked the genial proprietor, Dan Dove, how the world was serving him.
 "Everything's coming my way" he said. The people are showing in a substantial way, their appreciation of my efforts to give them the very best that money, time skill and experience can produce. and we are leaving no stone unturned to make the Randy Kitchen in every way attractive to them.
 Our Spring Opening last Monday. and the past week. was signal success. Many new drinks were sold for the first time in Montgomery. Special sales were con- ducted every day, and the concerts proved a strong drawing card.
 Recently I have made several addi- tions to my force. and today we are in better shape to serve the public than at any time since Dowe's Randy Kitchen has been open to the public.
 Just say for me that we are serving number of delicious new drinks. and that they are winners"
