Shown are the transcontinental railroad completion in 1869, the first all electric club car in 1900 and the diesel-electric engine in 1936. It then showed a picture of a railway car in the present time (1947) with groups of well-dressed men sitting at tables drinking as a waiter is seen bringing another platter of glasses of ice with a bottle of Corby’s Blended Whiskey with the label facing the reader of the ad. The ad mentions the long list of the railroad lines that served Corby’s, which they identified as A Grand Old Canadian Name.
