From Lucius Beebe's column in the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 22 July 1939, pg. 
12, col. 1:

   "For the authentic thirsty there is Trader Vic's over in Oakland, where 
Jack London once gloried and drank deep and where the house specialty is known 
as a Tortuga and is built with nine ounces of Jamaice rum.  One to a customer 
is the house rule, but they will occasionally allow a refill to patrons who 
will write their names and addresses on a slip of paper and summon a taxicab 
first.  There is also a child's-portion hooker known as a Zombie, which 
contains only six ounces of spirits, but most regulars spurn this as a classy 
arrangement for half-pinters and Princeton men."


Cheers!
