C. W. R.
I expect I complimented Tony about reduction of per capita cost too quickly. For the week ending June 28th the cost has run up about 15% above what it was for the week ending June 14th, and the average number of guests was 10% more. Notice, though, that the liquors are less. Where did the increase come in?
