Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This ad has a drawing of a man who is busy working on carving out, with a hammer and a chisel, another copy of Old Grand-Dad. The man is working very diligently and precisely, trying to finesse the look of elegence that this man deserves. The headline of the text says “Experience” and it had to have taken years for a person to be able to do this work. The rest of the text says “The sure hand of experience shows up in every drop of Old Grand-Dad. Here a careful selection of ripe grains is combined with masterly handling at the still and long storing away in straunch oak until flavor and mellowness reach their peak. The sum total is as rare an old bourbon as a man ever sniffed or sipped. Head your next list of guests with the Head of the Bourbon Family”.
