Jacket. First English Edition. London: Jarrolds, [1946].

The Colony (1923-71) was founded by Ernest Cerutti, Alfred Hartmann, and Gene Cavallero, who bought an earlier Colony restaurant from their former employer. At first, it was known for its upstairs gambling club where men could meet their mistresses. After Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt discovered it, it became the fashionable haunt of New York high society. The Colony served liquor during prohibition, serving it in cups rather than glasses, and keeping its liquor in a service elevator where it could easily be moved, though Mayor Walker protected the restaurant from raids.Irregular darkening to jacket, chipping to jacket spine ends and along front jacket flap fold, else good.
