1912 Hoffman House Bartender's Guide by Charley Mahoney

recipes for all of those drinks which are at pres:nt popular with the drinking public, and hundreds of others which are more or less useful and liable to be called for at any time. The recipes which are not in this book are hardly worth considering. Not the least important feature is the series of chapters on the buying of a saloon, its equipment, the employment of help, the duties of a bartender, and a thousand and one hints and suggestions which are bound to be of value to every man in the busi ness, whether he be the man behind the bar, the porter, or the owner. It not only tells you how to run a place, but it tells you how to run it right, as a business man ought to conduct a business house, and, what is of great im portance, it tells you how to find a business leak and stop it. You may be doing well, but you might be doing better; read the opening chapters, act on some of the suggestions offered and see if your business doesn't increase. No one man knows it all, and we can all learn, no matter how old or experienced we are. For the young man who is about to start in the business, no better advice could be found than this volume, which contains the result of years of experi ence in catering to the public.
