Idaho Whitefish Go To President
Lake Pend Oreille whitefish, recognized as a toothsome delicacy, may
grace the White House table. The Bonner Meat company, local dealers in
whitefish, today sent the president a carton of selected smoked
whitefish with the best wishes of the fisherman of this region.
R. A. Leaf, manager of the company's whitefish department, said
he believed the president should be acquainted with the whitefish of
northern Idaho.
