IViis oi thousands of peop.e have j
vein ured into 1 in* restaurant business
ami learm-d from hitter experience
that “things are not what they seem.
Th*>\ Imve fought aga'iiM tremendous
odds. In m.«n\ a restaurant vs here the
proprietor meets \ou with a smiling
face, tin: smile hut conceals a tragedy,
the wreck of hopes, the loss of the sav
ings oi \ears.

millionaires in almost any other bnsi- (

ties the\ are very sure to make a tail- j

bined qualities is found in only the :
verv lew who make a pronounced sue-j
cess of the restaurant ousiness.
