1910s Jack's manual by J A Grohusko (3rd edition)

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 enables him to publish this volume, 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 satis- factory and pleased many thousand guests, he would sug- gest 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, i. e., whiskey, gin, etc., other ingredients additional: Vi half whiskey glass being regarded as a full portion for one person. If you, my friend, at any time wish advice relating to the subject of mixed drinks or beverages, and will corre- spond with the author, your communication will receive prompt and careful attention. In closing, one request is made of the reader: If through the pages of this work you find its contents of value, suggest it to your friends, that we all may drink to each other's health.
