looks much better

In buying glassware choose white as it

when polished up. Never ask customers unnecessary questions, it is very an- noying, to say the least. Use tacks or shot to clean bottles. Peel all lemons you intend to squeeze; use peel for flavoring. Never throw a customer's change at him. Lay it down quitely and politely before him, with thanks. In mixing all beverages containing carbonated waters such as Tom Collins, soda cocktails or Rickeys, we recommend Krause's Seltzer and Soda as being the acme of purity. I do not wish to pose as a reformer, but I do not think it looks nice to smoke or chew back of the bar. One of the great secrets of success in business is to give the customer the same to-day you gave him yesterday, i. e., the same quality and quantity. Always let the customer think he knows more than you do. Avoid religious and political discussions. Keep damp sponge in cigar case in winter. Soak corks before using. Be polite to everybody. Say "thank you/' on receiving pay- ment from a customer; it does not cost anything and can't help but create a good impression. Never let customers think you are listening to their convei- sation, unless you know it is agreeable to them. Keep doing something all the time, then you will get credit for being in- dustrious.
