Description
Full color 8 1/2″ x 12″ ad for the “Head of the Bourbon Family”, Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It has the familiar bust of Old Grand-Dad sitting against a green background as he looks thoughtfully across the podium, The text tells us that “Every glorious drop of Old Grand-Dad more than fulfills the promise of mellow goodness implied by its lustrous amber color. For here is a grand Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey whose reputation has been gained solely on its distinctively fine qualities – qualities which have won it a proud place at the Head of the Bourbon Family”. To the left of this text is a picture of a bottle of Old Grand-Dad along with a Bottled in Bond stamp and the words “100 Proof”.
