succeeded in
putting
in
wine cellars that
are not
excelled by any hotel in the
world for their
wonder
ful
selection
of
vintages and
perfect
management.
Mr. Straub
never stops at the
price
in
buying his
wines
or
liquors.v
He
appreciates perhaps more than
any
other
man
the
value
of quality ln
a
celebrated
institution like
the
Blackstone.
As
an
authority
on
alcoholic
beverages, how to
care
for
them, when and how
to
use them,
his
repu
tation
is
unsurpassed.
Mr. Straub
is
a
man
of interesting personality.
He
gets down to the closest
analysis of his
sub
ject
and completes
it
with
a
thoroughness that
can’t help but
be
successful.
In compiling
these
hundreds
of
mixed
drinks
he has used
that
same
thoroughness,
talent
and
understanding characteris
tic
от
his
usual
work.
