| Beware of Fakirs- Have you ever seen BEEF LIVER AND BACON on a bill of fare? We hardly think so. They all say calf's liver and bacon but how many really use calf's liver. Judging from the supposed amount of calf's liver used in this city alone, it would require about 25 calves to each cow. Market price of beef liver 10c per lb. Calf's liver 30c. per lb. We use genuine calf's liver, so beware of fakirs. | |
