Description
Fancy a tipple? Then pull up a stool, raise a glass, and dip into this delightful paean to the grand old saloon days of yore. Written by Chicago-based journalist, playwright, and all-round wit George Ade in the waning years of Prohibition, "T""he Old-Time Saloon" is both a work of propaganda masquerading as just history and a hilarious exercise in nostalgia. Featuring original, vintage illustrations along with a new introduction and notes from Bill Savage, Ade's book takes us back to the long-gone men s clubs of earlier days, when beer was a nickel, the pretzels were polished, and the sardines were free."
