New ideas and new T appliances follow each other in rapid succes s1011 to ·meet the ever-increasing demand for novel ties, which administer to creature comforts and gratification to fastidious tastes. " The Mixicolo g ist" is intended to meet this demand. It is with fe elings of modesty and diffidence that I approach so important a subject, but my long experience, and m y hearty desire to produce what I hope will become a standard, and thus to help my fellow workers, and also to elevate the tone of our profession, prompts the undertaking. These, I trust, are sufficient reasons for my at tempting to write the following. If to " tend bar" consisted only in filling up glasses thoug htlessly, and pushing them out to customers carelessly, it would not be proper to speak of it as a polite voca tion and a fine art, and it would be u seless to write on the subject. But I place it among the more elegant employments of life, and to be a successful bartender requires the exercise of those finer facul ties that distinguish the cultured artist from the inexperienced, and which are so much appreciated by gentlemen customers. 5 6 l. 1TRO D U CTO I< Y. • Also, in this introductory, I feel it my duty; to thank my friends for info rmation received for this little book, among them being Mr. J ohn H .
