Y. | (over)". Verso reads: "To Whom It May Concern: The merchandise sold here is the best that credit can buy. Our kitchen is open for inspection. Try and get in. Try our Chili-Con Carne. A bull fight in every can. Be kind to the waitress. She may be paying off a second mortgage on the Old Homestead. We are not responsible for wives left over thirty days. We know your check is good, it's the banks we can't trust. Our chef was raised in Georgia, but the rope broke. A victim of the jerk. Our entertainers would rather walk than give. If you have any complaints, get in line. Lights by Edison. Tooth Picks by Tiffany. Advice by Everybody. Signed: | 'The Management.'"
