    u.l. to u.c. printed: SMITH BROS. 'FISH SHANTY" \ FAMOUS FOR FISH DINNERS, \ Port Washington, Wis. \ This unique restaurant, located in down-town \ Port Washington near Smith Bros. fish docks, is \ a reproduction of an interior of a Great Lakes \ fisherman's shanty. The plain pine furniture and \ the knotty pine wals, hung with relics of the sea, \ lend an individual atmosphere. Smith Bros. "Fish \ Shanty" specializes in serving lake fish, caught \ by the Smith Bros. fishing fleet. Due to their ex- \ tensive production facilities, Smith Bros. have the \ distinction of often being able to serve the public \ with fish caught the same day.
