1933 The Bon Vivant's Companion by George A Zabriskie

Jhe 'Bon Vivant's Companion

the Planters House, St. Louis, seventy-five years ago. His very name is synonymous with quality in the lexicon of mixed drinks, and remember that he was as inexor able as the Medes and Persians in his principle that no excellent drink can be made out of anything but excel lent materials. "Good wine needs no bush," Shakespeare tells us, and over one of Jerry's mixtures eulogy isquite as redundant. Howsomever, here's to you—the Eighteenth Amend ment will soon be a dream. Drinkhearty, and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Cordially,

George A. Zabriskie
