"The drinks are usually restricted to cocktails and straight whiskies. Early in the morning it is generally cocktails alone that we sell to customers. "These early drinkers don't seem to want anything else, and it is a fact that a glass of beer in the morning does' seem a little heavy and not quite suited to the presumed needs of the stomach. About 10 oclock, however, the demand for cocktails .begins to slow up a little, and orders for whiskies put in an appearance, gradually Increasing toward noon, when it usually gives way quickly to the beer orders. From that time on until 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening beer is very nearly the exclusive order of our customers. "The taste of the late evening trade 'is decidedly variegated, and it is hard to say what class of drinks appears to be the most popular, but it is a noticeable fact that requests for wines, such drinks as absinthe, creme de menthe, and so forth, are not made frequently until about this time of the day. It is a curious thing the way this taste in drinks marks certain portions of the day, and I have no doubt that all men who are in a position to note it have observed the fact much the same as I have."
