Description
Full color 8″ x 11″ ad that is for Early Times Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky. This ad has a headline that states “Early Times. The Way It Was, Is The Way It Is” and there are five gentlemen wearing old naval uniforms and hats and each holding a glass that was filled from the bottle of Early Times in their middle, a bottle that looks as old as they are trying to act. The ad says “1880. A Sunday outing on San Francisco Bay. And you may be sure that when men who knew how to live got together, they enjoyed the finest Kentucky whisky money could buy. What else but Early Times? Even though it had to be shipped across the continent, it was worth waiting for. Today, the taste of Early Times is just as prized. Because we’re still slow-distilling it the same way we did in 1860 when we began. The pleasure hasn’t changed. It’s just easier to come by”. There is a picture in the lower right-hand corner showing a bottle from 1860 to a bottle TODAY.
