Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for a Christmas-time ad for Corby’s Canadian Blended Whiskey. This ad has a painting, I think, of Father and Son and they are shown standing in one of their living rooms exchanging presents. The Father has opened his and the Son is just beginning to open his, just enough to see that both of the presents are the same, a bottle of Corby’s Whiskey. Each of them are smiling and the ad has the Son saying, “Thanks – and the same to you”. The ad shows the parrot “speaking” and the words that the ad would have us believe he was saying are “Corby’s…A Grand Old Canadian Name”.
