Hello everyone, I’m currently doing some research on William Schmidt, and I can’t find a digital copy of “William, King of Bartenders”, New York Press, 13 October 1889, p. 1. Do any of you perhaps have a copy and could share it with me? Among other things, it should mention that he was offered the management of the bar in the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and I’d really like to read that in the original context. Many thanks!
