cout not identified in methods

Kaydee (5)
I have a class Establishment with methods introduction() and testPrint()

in both of these methods i try to use cout and i get an "identifier cout is undefined"

cout works in main()

can anyone see where im going wrong?

I've included my code below. This version will not compile - but if you comment out all the print statements in RESTAURANT.CPP it works...

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "RESTAURANT.H"


using namespace std;



int main ()
{
	Establishment myRestaurant;
	introduction();
	myRestaurant.testPrint();

	cout << "This print statement works " << endl;

	getchar();
	return 0;
}
