Description
Full color 10″ x 13″ ad for another olden story, this one about Jim Crow himself. The picture shows a man working at stirring up a concoction in a large metal pot while another man is preparing a barrel for use. There are two well dressed individuals standing by the door watching the entire process. The ad says that “2 1/2 gallons a day was Crow’s original production”. “In a log cabin near Frankfort, Kentucky, pioneer distiller James Crow, more than a century ago, began to produce small batches of the famous whiskey that still bears his name”. The Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made still at the same site, using the same limestone spring Colonel Crow discovered. This whiskey, originally famous in Kentucky, is now famous world-wide.
