1948 The Bon Vivant's Companion by George A Zabriskie (2nd edition)

The BonVivant's Companion

the presiding deity at the Planter's 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 inexorable as the Medes and Persians in his principle that no excellent drink can be made out of anything but excellent materials. "Good wine needs no bush," Shakespeare tells us, and over one of Jerry's mixtures eulogy is quite as redundant. Howsomever, here's to you. Drink hearty, and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cordially,

GEORGE A. ZABRISKIE
