So the restaurants may catch up on their trade we suggest they feature raspberries on their Fa ther's Day mena and get the whole family out. In most cases if the family on Father's Day tell papa to take his fish rod and get out for the day hell consider it the greatest stroke of love and sentiment the family can confer and will probably send them box of bonbons to show his ap preciation. , CUSTOMERS' CORNER You and O.
