This book is full of genuine pre-prohibition recipes for mixed Drinks. The author was wine steward of the famous Blackstone Hotel Bar in Chicago. It is an authoritative treatise on how mixed drinks should be made. In addition to 700 practical recipes, it has a preface by "Oscar" of the Waldorf, and an opening chapter outlining the care and medicinal value of wines.
We recommend "Drinks" as the book being used by the finest hotels and clubs, by connoisseurs of beverages, and as a book that is authoritative and exceedingly practical because it was written by one who knew how, and was first published in the days before prohibition, (1914).
This is the first practical, comprehensive inquiry into hotel advertising ever made available. It is the only book which treats the problem of selling rooms and service in its entirety—promotion, publicity, "in-the-house", "word-of-mouth", copy, appropriation, media selection, and agency contact. Mr. Madden is acquainted with both sides of the advertising picture. His book brings the two into sharp focus and shows their proper relationship. . . . Anyone who is in any way affected by hotel advertising should be sure to have on hand a copy of "THE ADVERTISING OF HOTELS" for study, reference, and guidance.
