<<Therefore Prestige ads are misleading and incorrect.>>
This is not just the practice of Prestige. MOST travel ads require that
you
read the fine print.
Speaking of fine print. The final chapter in my Sour Dough battle
resulted in the Food and Beverage manager, Dave Williams, consulting,
Jackie Gaughan, who consulted legal and they insisted this be read and
signed by all customers at the El Cortez coffee shop.
