NATIONAL POLICE GA...Heres another excerpt for you:<br /><br />NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE, 22nd April 1905<br /><br />Frank J. May, better known as Jack Rose, is the inventor of a very popular cocktail by that name, which has made him famous as a mixologist. He is at present looking after the managerial affairs of Gene Sullivan's Cafe, at 187 Pavonia avenue, Jersey City, N. J., one of the most popular resorts in that city. Mr. May takes an active interest in sports, and as a wrestler could give many of the professional wrestlers a warm argument.Bourbon Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119552921068009492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25875773.post-24464458149325617402006-12-21T10:54:00.000-08:002006-12-21T10:54:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing, George!

ROSENTHAL MUR...Washington Post, 23rd December 1912<br /><br />ROSENTHAL MURDER CHANGES NAMES OF FAMOUS FLOWER AND A COCKTAIL<br /><br />"The murder of Herman Rosenthal has seriously affected the business of florists in Brooklyn, and perhaps a good deal in Manhattan. The Jack rose, a pretty popular blossom, has often been left on the hands of the Brooklyn florists, just because it bears the same name as the informer in the famous trials."<br /><br /><br />The cocktail obviously predates the murder; and due to the Crimson colour of the Jack Rose Flower, it is quite possible that the Jack Rose Cocktail was named after the flower.Bourbon Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119552921068009492noreply@blogger.com
