HAYWOOD'S

MIXOLOGY.

In

buying

glassware

choose

white

as

it

looks

much

better

when

polished

up.

Never

ask

customers

unnecessary

questions,

it

is

very

an-

noying,

to

say

the

least.

Use

tacks

or shot

to

clean

bottles.

Peel

all

lemons

you

intend

to

squeeze;

use

peel

for

flavoring.

Never

throw

a

customer's

change

at

him.

Lay

it

down

quitely

and

politely

before

him,

with

thanks.

In

mixing

all

beverages

containing

carbonated

waters

such

as

Tom

Collins,

soda

cocktails

or

Rickeys,

we

recommend

Krause's

Seltzer

and

Soda

as

being

the

acme

of purity.

I

do

not

wish

to

pose

as

a

reformer,

but

I

do

not

think

it

looks

nice

to

smoke

or

chew

back

of

the

bar.

One

of

the

great

secrets

of

success

in

business

is

to

give

the

customer

the

same

to-day

you

gave

him

yesterday,

i.

e.,

the

same

quality

and

quantity.

Always

let

the

customer

think

he

knows

more

than

you

do.

Avoid

religious

and

political

discussions.

Keep

damp

sponge

in

cigar

case

in

winter.

Soak

corks

before

using.

Be

polite

to

everybody.

Say

"thank

you/'

on

receiving

pay-

ment

from

a

customer;

it

does

not

cost

anything

and

can't

help

but

create

a

good

impression.

Never

let

customers

think

you

are

listening

to

their

convei-

sation,

unless

you

know

it

is

agreeable

to

them.

Keep

doing

something

all

the

time,

then

you

will

get

credit

for

being

in-

dustrious.
