@$^~~¨¨¨¨¨ IT ALL BEGAN A THOUSAND YEARS AGO IN ¨¨¨¨¨~~^$@
###@*$^~,¨ LIKE THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. A DARK ¨,~^$*@###
###@*$^~,¨ FIGURE EMERGED FROM A TAVERN AFTER A ¨,~^$*@###
####*$^~,¨ FEW YEARS APPRENTICESHIP, WITH AN IDEA. ¨,~^$*####
###@*$^~,¨ IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL FOOD IN THE ¨,~^$*@###

###@*$^~,¨ THE OLD TAVERN HAD THEIR MONOPOLY AND ¨,~^$*@###
