Description
Full color 8″ x 11″ ad for Canada Dry’s Club Soda, Ginger Ale and Quinine Water. This ad appears to be taken from the page of a newspaper with the top of it saying “Extra. America’s Going Dry”. Below these words there is a photograph showing five young women, three dressed in clothes from the Thirties and holding automatic rifles, and the other two dressed in bathing suits appropriate for the Thirties too. They are sitting on a beach with the ocean behind them as, before and around them, is an open case stating Canada Dry with assorted bottles of the prementioned products scattered around. Each of the girls also seem to have a glass filled with of their choice. The ad text says that “For your thirsty summer mob: a slug of gin in a high glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. It’s called a Dry Gin Buck. Use Diet Ginger Ale if you want to, Slim. Or try a big shot of vodka splashed with C.D. Ginger Ale. It’s called a Russian Bubble. For the Scotch-loving clan, fling in some Canada Dry Club Soda. All this hot summer, Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Club Soda are the mixers that make it”.
