Dear Sir or Madam:
Constructive criticism is appre-
ciated by any ambitious person or
concern-however, criticism from
one who is SO blind he can't see
what is on his side of the road in
stead of looking at the grass on the
other, ! do not consider construc-

l would appreciate it if you
would come over and give our
dinners, coffee and sandwiches
(Which / assure you will not be
made up especially for your benefit
any more than any other customer)
a trial, on the house, don't be-
lieve you'll find any basis for the
editorial you wrote in the Sentinel,
Sept. 1.
There have been others who have
tried to give Rockville better food
in pleasant surroundings, the
same as we do, but had to give up
why? Because it seems that
price means more to them than
quality (The public, l mean and
so-they only patronize the places
that serve the kind of food you
criticize SO severely-Frankly- if
we had to depend on our food bust
ness to exist we'd have been buried
along with the rest because I've
insisted upon keeping it on a high
level for the few who do appreciate
it-instead of giving up and COM
peting with cheaper places-So
why not give us a try-maybe
you'll find we should have a pat on
the back instead of slap in the
face
