GUS HOOVER ENJOYS FrSH (?)

In all probabilities, a certain Los Angeles wholesale gentleman hailed as Gus Hoover will hesitate, in the future, in making any rash statements or promises in connection with fish arguments. And thereby hangs a tale.

About a month ago Bob Forgie, another wholesaler, stated that the sales manager of the Bloedel-Donovan Lumber Mills, Mr. R. A. Clark, had promised to send him a good sized salmon and that he was at a loss as to what to do with so much fish. He re,marked that he would probably tnvite about fifteen of the lumber boys to come to the Jonathan Club for luncheon and have the salmon served.

Gus took exception to the nu,mber. He said that there was no salmon in the Pacific Ocean large enough to serve filteen hungry lumbermen, and further said that if Bob wr-ruld produce such a whale that he would sign the check fc.rr the entire gang.

Bob immediatley phoned Mr. Clark, and a few days later did rec'eive by express an enormous animal that rlndoubtedly rvas a salmon but was surely a distant relative of the whale tribe. It was at least iour feet long and would easily weigh sixty pounds. He got busy at once inviting, and on Moh<ley, April l2th, just twenty of Gus's best friends showed rup to enjoy the meal, at his ,expense, of course.

The fish was delicious, as was all of the other extra food gleefully ordered by thg ravenous gathering.

Gus said that he was glad to pay, he really didn't mind the expensive d,esserts and side dishes so much, but that he didn't like Clark's letter about the salmon, saying that it rvas a small fellow, one that he took from the live bait box.
