1882 Harry Johnson's new and improved bartender's manual (1882)

— 4 — person contemplating, entering the business of a bar- tender, lias a complete and valuable guide, in the worts you will also find all the Bar Utensils, Liquors, Glass and Silverware you require, the different brands of mixtures and beverages you will use and how to use them, and also a large list of valuable hints to bar- tenders, how to keep a Saloon, in what manner to construct it, and in fact every item that is of any use whatever from the moment you become a bartender to the requirements of the present day. I have also made it my profession for many years back to teach and learn the art of tending bar to any party having an inclination to do so, in the past years I have taught a great num- ber of parties the profession, and I can with pride refer to them, as to my fitness as an instructor of Bartend- ing. In conclusion, let me say, that this work will not only be very valuable to the entire profession it is in- tended for, but will prove to a great advantage to all families, and all the public in general, as a complete guide in preparing or mixing drinks; it will contain nothing but the most resjDeetable and interesting read- ing. I remain Your obedient servant HARRY JOHNSON.
