Excerpt from Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia: A Complete Catalogue of the Latest and Most Popular Drinks In reference to my personal experience will say I began my career as bell boy in the Lincoln House in Worcester, Mass, in 1882, and from the start devoted strict attention to the bar business, which soon resulted in pro curing me the position of bartender, which vocation I have since followed, and have exerted every energy to have the art of mix ing drinks brought to the stage of pertee tion.
