To those who enjoy snug club rooms, that they may learn the art of preparing for themselves what is good. is It any wonder that mankind stands open-mouthed before the bartender, considering the mysteries and marvels of an art that borders on magic? Recipes found in this book have been composed and collected, tried and tested, in a quarter-century of experience by Tom Bullock of the St. Louis Country Club.

Who was ever known to drink just a part of one of Tom's? Tom, than whom there is no greater mixologist of any race, color or condition of servitude, was taught the art of the julep by no less than Marse Lilburn G. McNair, the father of the julep. In fact, the very cup that Col. Roosevelt drank it from belonged to Governor McNair, the first Governor of Missouri, the greatgrandfather of Marse Lilburn and the great-great-grandfather of the julep.
