Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad for their Distilled London Dry Gin. This ad has a drawing that shows four men of different ethnic backgrounds working together on four large glasses that contain gin mixed drinks. One man is on the top step of a ladder moving the giant green straw that is in the glass. Another man stands holding the ladder for him after setting his bag of grain on the ground. An Oriental man stands watching these two men while holding bundles of sticks tied from a pole held over his shoulder and another man stands proudly looking at another of the glasses that are lined up. The ad headline lets us know that “They grow Imported Botanicals for pick-of-the-crop gin drinks.”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
