1910 Jack's Manual by J A Grohusko

INTRODUCTORY.

The author, in presenting this volume to the public, begs to state that his intention in compiling it is not to have it recorded as one of the literary marvels of the day, but to give to the "prince of good fellows" a guide of value for his home, club, hotel or cafe. As previously stated in his first issue, it is only practical experience, through long association with the leading Amer- ican hotels and clubs, which prompts him to publish this volume (his second attempt), the most complete of its kind ever issued. In the various recipes, reference is made only to wines and ingredients of the highest character. In the advertising section contained at the end of this book, the reader will find only such products as have been preferred by the author; and as their use has proven satisfactory and pleased many thousand guests, he would suggest their preference in your mixing. That the reader may be familiar with the various sizes and the terms used in this publication, the following table will prove of value, but only applies to liquor, /. e., whiskey, gin, etc., other ingredients additional:
