Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad for Philadelphia Blended Whisky. This ad starts off with a drawing of a large group of people “Skating on the Delaware River, Philadelphia, 1784…Based on early records”. The picture is of them skating around, some falling, and them having a blazing fire on the middle of the ice on the river. They each have skates on with the front of them, curled up in a unique way. The statement under the picture says “Philadelphia – The Heritage Whisky” and, the text underneath says, “Keen enjoyment of the great outdoors went hand in hand with friendly hospitality in Colonial Philadelphia. These kindly relations are today reflected in famous Philadelphia Blend, The Heritage Whisky. A rare whisky, indeed. Rich, full-bodied, mellow. You might well reserve Philadelphia Blend for special occasions. Yet you can afford to enjoy it, regularly and often”.
