Yorkvtle business man. "But that wa:
about all that it was worth because il
was the doggiest of the dogtail kind. Il

rant in q small town. said Mr.. W. L.
Jamison, proprietor Of the Shandon no.

never showed up. Although the small

the larger cities, at the same time the
cooks could save more money in the
smaller towns. But they don't seem to
see it that way"
