Who would believe that the pros
perity Of a restaurant depends on
which side Of the street it is and
which corner it happens to occupy?
Yet there is q tradition that these de-
tails are Of the utmost Importance.
The right side. according TO this the
DRY, is the west side, and the persons
who hold it point triumphantly . a
long list of establishments which
prospered famously on one side. while
the other is strewn with failures. A
second part Of this tradition holds
that the restaurant, to succeed, must
always be on the downtown corner.
