Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the Blended 86 Proof Whiskey from Hiram Walker. The ad has a picture of a man who has been painting several wrought iron chairs in the back yard. His wife has decided to bring several glasses of cool refreshment for them to share and the man is toying with the idea of using the last paint on his brush to touch-up his wife’s face. This picture also shows that there are other reasons to buy Imperial. Like this man has found out, if you buy it by the case, the cardboard boxes that the bottles come in are strong enough to use to store your paint supplies. The ad headline says “Knowledgeable people drink Imperial. It’s a matter of taste (and value).” This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
