Description
Full color 10″ x 13 3/4″ ad with another series of adventures that advertise Canadian Club Blended Canadian Whisky. The headline here is a “Life-or-death moment for a big-game hunter” and there are four photos in the series. The first, the largest photo, shows a hunter aiming his gun at a lion as the text says that “A full-grown lion is dangerous. And make no mistake about it, professional hunters told me. How right they were” writes Ron Shanin, an American friend of Canadian Club.” The second picture is of the shot, “Game to the last, the lion was almost upon me before it dropped. (The photographer fainted as he took this picture) A lion usually flees. We must have startled this one at close range to trigger its attack”. The third picture is showing a group of natives carrying the lion back to the camp and the fourth picture shows the three Americans sitting around a table sharing a glass of Canadian Club while the lion lies dead off to the side.
