1903 Daly's bartenders' encyclopedia

rinsed in hot water, and a spoon placed in glass, so as to minimize the risk of breakage and enable you to serve the drink thoroughly hot. Bottled liquors of all descriptions should be kept lying down so as to keep the corks moist and avoid evaporation. Have your glass and bar towels clean. Bitters and cordials of every description should be kept in the original bottles, with the labels clean and attractive, and should never, under any circumstance, be refilled. When patrons request cigars instead of drinks, always serve them in a glass if silver tray is not available. In conclusion, will add it is hardly neces- sary to enumerate the various little details which every bartender should be familiar with, but will merely suggest keep every- thing connected with your bar and back bar thoroughly clean and attractive, and you will procure the patronage of the most desirable class of customers, and be enabled to serve them with mutual satisfaction. Very truly yours, TIM DALY.
