Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that was for Beefeater’s London Distilled Dry Gin. This ad starts off with the announcement stating that “From The Queen of England to Beefeater, The Gin of England”. It then shows a bottle of this fine product, with the label facing outward, and awarded “The Queen’s Award to Industry 1971”. The ad then says that “James Burrough Ltd., distiller of Beefeater Gin, the only gin ever to be honored with the Queen’s Award to Industry, has just received the coveted Award for the third time. The Award was presented on the occasion of the birthday of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. From the Gin of England to The Queen of England, thank you and Happy Birthday”. Now, wasn’t that nice!
